To be clear, the leftover elements on the left and right aren't even partitioned? ie elements on the left could be greater than some elements on the right?

If that were specified, then the mth_to_nth_element name has merit for Sean's algorithm, but Marshall's is still left without a good name. Finding similar names that vary only on the use of "sort" vs. "gather", for example, would be helpful.

After listening to the talk, IIUC, everything on the left is less than everything in the middle, is less than everything on the right.

Yes, that is correct.

(And thanks Marshall, I didn't need sleep last night. Sean's talk, followed by Chandler's, followed by... Or I could blame youtube for automatically starting the next video. But I choose Marshall.)
