I forgot to sort the envariables in perlrun, and I was going to do
so because I went looking for PERLIO and couldn't find it where I
had expected to find it in the raw sort.
Which of these 3 subtly different sort orders do you think will
be the most obvious and useful for *most* readers of perlrun
when they go looking for envariables?

PS: And arncha glad I didn't put *these* in? :)
The tests and pods mention these ^PERL* envariables:
