gnulib and ls call the idea "version sort": (coreutils)Details about version
sort. (The name "natural sort" seems to suggest a universality that it doesn't
have.)
This is not quite the same as the general "treat digit sequences as integers"
associated with the name "Natural sort order", and is also slightly different
from Emacs' own `version<'. I fear the confusion from all these
almost-equivalent algorithms...
