Looking through Python's string functions
(http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/string-methods.html) I noticed
partition():
partition(sep)
Split the string at the first occurrence of sep, and return a
3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator itself,
and the part after the separator. If the separator is not found, return
a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by two empty strings.
New in version 2.5.
Right now we find find and findSkip; partition would be a great
complement, and can be implemented for all forward ranges.
One question is naming - partition() is not good for us because
std.algorithm.partition implements Hoare's in-place partition algorithm.
How should we call the function?

Would be rather trisect, but that becomes a bit too cute.
