In a functional language where tuples and lists are built in, the 
natural return type for partition is a tuple of lists.  But we don't get 
it that easy.

We experimented with a number of forms here; a two-element array (arrays 
and generics don't play nicely), a special Partition object, etc.  In 
the end a Map<Boolean, List<T>> seemed most natural, and also behaved 
mostly like the other composible Collector combinator, groupingBy.
