That's wrong.  There have been lots of posts in the discussion of
sorting that are relevant to C.  The problem with encouraging
discussion of C++, or Python, or other such languages, is they
tend to produce lots of postings that have nothing to do with C,
and rarely produce postings that have anything to do with C.
