For numeric types, I can negate the numeric argument for max heaps, but if I have strings, I cannot go about negating them.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am going to decline.  The min heap has suffices for a wide variety of use cases for many, many years.  I see your point when it comes to strings, but that is a somewhat exotic use case.

Do you a suggestion for non-numeric types?
