I know I'm coming too late to this discussion, but just for completeness
sake let me mention that the OCaml standard List module uses 'partition'
already in the sense that most mathematically educated people would
understand it:
val partition : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

time
A more descriptive name than 'partition' would be 'split_at'.
