Though I wonder: why was it decided to do [key, value, key, value] instead of [{key => value}, {key => value}] when it was found that you needed sorting? IMHO, a little easier to work with. (I presume there's a good reason for it though...)
Memory is one reason... a map or hash per count isn't ideal. Another is the API for accessing such a data structure. While it looks fine on paper, getting a single key/value easily and efficiently is not what a map/hash is good for. What's a map doing in the equation if there is only ever going to be a single key? -Yonik
