umm, perhaps not dramatic in a hobby sense. but when used in a 
production environment,

It is pretty scary if it is unable to go through a linear sorted array, 
and not present the sorted array.

It just means that this is one element of gambas that can not be used in 
a production sense. It is not dramatic but needs to be clearly 
documented on the wiki

I.E, Gambas 'for each' may not return organized elements of a linear 
array, do not use for production development.
