[Kc] untie or unoverload an array from within its class?

[David Nicol]

thinking (out loud) about lazy sort utilities.

Given an invocation something like

           makelazysortedarray ( my @Sorted, @Unsorted); # presume "cmp" for
comparison function

which would work behind the scenes with a (\@@) protoype, and work by either
tying @{$_[0]} or blessing $_[0] into an overloaded class (which in turn
ties, so there's no advantage there)

when the sort is complete, @{$_[0]} could be untied with "untie" and then
get the complete remaining list assigned to it, or for an overload
situation,

     $_[0] = [ @CompleteSortedList ]

would also work.

Am I right?
