"Non-obvious" to the novice that this technique can be used, and non-
obvious to the reader of the program.

I'm envisioning key functions that return long sequences of -1/0/1 
integers, or numbers between 0 and 2**50...  Not good.

Instead of removing cmp, I'd suggest simply placing a note in the 
documentation saying that key is preferred over cmp, to encourage 
readability.
