 | The specification of sort! reads:
 | 
 |    Function: sort! sequence less?
 |    Function: sort! sequence less? key
 | 
 |        Returns list, array, vector, or string sequence which has
 |    been mutated to order its elements according to less?. Given
 |    valid arguments, it is always the case that:
 | 
 |        (sorted? (sort! sequence less?) less?) => #t
 | 
 | Would be possible to add that the sorting is in-place?

Just before the specification of SORTED? is:

  The `!' variants sort in place; sort! returns its sequence argument.
