Provide a `sorted` operator

This sorts (using python sorted) the current object's value if it is a
list or dict and returns the list or keys.

This is presented a strawman proposal for doing sorts as I couldn't
decide how to do it correctly. At least with some starting code maybe
we can reach something better.

Note that the goal here is to get a sorted list of atomic entities
which can be evalauted, not to sort a collection of objects by a key
of those objects. That would be useful too, and presumably there is a
way to do it generically.

The demonstrated syntax is:

   foo.`sorted`

presumably things like like:

   foo.[/]        # ascending sort of this
   foo.[\]        # descending sort of this
   foo.[/somekey] # ascending sort by somekey's value

ought to be possible but I do not know if it is aligned with proper
JSONPath.
