The rules are for setting whatever sort order you like.  Maybe you want 
to sort + before - or whatever.  It's like, if you don't like it, build 
your own.

The k* settings are parametric settings, in that they transform the sort 
key in some algorithmic way.  The co settings are just everything else. 
They are not parametric, they are just some other sort order that 
someone spelled out explicitly.
