# A function that generates a sorting key. We want lexicographical order
# (primary key) except that capital letters are sorted before lowercase
# ones (secondary key).
#
# The primary key is implemented by lowercasing the input. The secondary
# key is simply the original data appended, character by character. For
# example, the sort key for `FT_x' is `fFtT__xx', while the sort key for
# `ft_X' is `fftt__xX'. Since ASCII codes of uppercase letters are
# numerically smaller than the codes of lowercase letters, `fFtT__xx' gets
# sorted before `fftt__xX'.
