Yes, it's named partition in my implementations of Quicksort too :-) So it's
better to find a different name for the other one.
Hmm, how about kPartitions?
e.g. kPartitions([1,2,3,4,5,6], 3) == [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]]
A k-partition is common terminology for partitioning a set into
k-element subsets, so that seems to fit, and isn't too verbose.
