Mine was for the result of the 'rotated' methods, but should work for the
partitioning ones, too. It's not as clear to me what the benefit of the "lazy"
partitioning in that Algorithm.swift is—wouldn't it be better to wrap a
collection around two lazy filter sequences?
Here is a quick proof of concept of 'divided' and 'partitioned' methods:

Definitely!
