In thinking about how to write a "partition" function (or separate, or

sort of reverse-varargs behavior, like

So in this case, partition is supposed to determine, on the fly, h

I agree that general partitioning is 'better' than a fixed binary proposal,

That seems like an excellent argument for calling it 'separate'. Perhaps it
will be the first of many spelling-improvi

Yes. I've written that function in Perl 5, which isn't ideal, because you
have to return array refs, not arrays.
However, I don't think it should be called 'seper

Unless I'm mistaken, that won't work, since $i only gets incremented on
matches. I think this:
my @indexes = map { $i++; /condition/ ? $i : () } @stuff;

Lets say you have a list of program arguments.
@ARGV = ('foo', '--bar=baz', 'yar');
and you want to seperate that into two lists. One of switches and one of
normal args. You can't just use a grep, you'd have to do this:
my @swit
