D - Overriding Array's .sort

Is is possible to override the sorting method used in an array's .sort?  Peeking
at the DMD sources leads 
me to believe it's using a QuickSort, which is fine and dandy.  But if I know
I'm working with an an array 
of uints, I could make it a lot faster on the average by swapping in a RadixSort
instead.  Yes, I'm aware I 
can do this externally, but being able to override it would mean the faster
RadixSort would be used 
even in code I didn't write.

Just some musings.
