Subject: Add a character-based maxstr_by and minstr_by
I don't have a need for this right now, but I suspect I will in the future. The max_by and min_by that we have now is numeric only. I can easily see wanting to do something like my $first_user = minstr_by { $_->username } @users; In fact, that was my test example for the article I'm writing about List::UtilsBy.

Yes this seems a simple addition. An accidental oversight that I forgot to add them in initially. -- Paul Evans
