partitionEithers - This is (I believe) the most popular (or least controversial) name. The output of our function has similar properties to the output of partition. The only objection possible objection is that partitionEithers perhaps should have type (a -> Either b c) -> [a] -> ([b],[c]), ie. partitonEithers should take a function as a parameter. The response to this objection by saying that the extra `Eithers' in the name fills the place of the predicate/function. Also the function of type (a -> Either b c) -> [a] -> ([b],[c]) is less widely used that the function we are trying to name in this trac.
