(Sorting Sequences): In sort*, add a little cautionary note about the key procedure being used heavily.

@end example

@noindent
sorts @var{data}, a sequence of strings, into increasing alphabetical
order without regard to case.  A @code{:key} function of @code{car}
would be useful for sorting association lists.

The @code{sort*} function is destructive; it sorts lists by actually
rearranging the @code{cdr} pointers in suitable fashion.

would be useful for sorting association lists.  It should only be a
simple accessor though, it's used heavily in the current
implementation.
