But can't that be just as easily done by piping through sort? (I
understand there is a platform which lacks the sort utility, boohoo)
Yes, but sort does not have a natural sort option afaik.
sort -n
Hi!
It is not natural sort but usual boring non-natural numeric sort ;)
With the use-case in original post the list would appear exactly the
same than with strcmp sort.
Somebody suggested strvercmp(); how does the natcmp() compare with it?

Yeah I did, as a heads-up from the discussion on the apache
mailing-list linked earlier.
I've just checked out glibc's implementation, the result would be the
same, the code seems better to me, and there is no doubt the license
is 100% compatible this way [1], sounds cool.
[1] as I guess we'd still have to borrow the code from glibc and put
it into git's compat/ directory (or whatever name is choosen in the
end for this kind of borrowed stuff) to make it work on non-glibc
platforms (?)

Yes, and we have precedents to it, like compat/strcasestr.c
