>> you want to change the mechanism of comparison (perhaps introduce locale sensitive comparison)

I couldn't agree more, and this is why I think most FP programs are about as intellectual stimulating as `std::min_element`

How does using if statements make it easier to introduce locale sensitive computation? A locale should be represented in the arguments or as a transformation, very similar to what the article is doing.
