OTOH, I like the variable sorting hack in ProPolice, and thought about
implementing it, but chose instead to concentrate on PointGuard, which

I's not just a "hack" it's a great improvement that distinguish ProPolice
from Stackguard.
To be honest, it's the main reason why I migrated form SG to PP.
Beside that PP protects function arguments unlike SG!

To recapitulate: SG vs PP 0:2.
