partition improvement

[DiG]

Hi all,

Quite often one need to get the last part of partition which is
smaller than the requested partition size. This change also support
another common case where one would like to pad the partition.

Since it is such a small change I am pasting the whole function,
instead of patch, but of cause can produce a patch against core. The
tests are included too.

I like this a lot.

One suggestion:

Keep "coll" as the last argument in all the argument lists

See also "partition-all" in clojure.contrib.seq-utils. It isn't as
feature-complete as your version, but is instead a drop-in replacement
for "partition" that always returns the final part (regardless of
whether or not it's long enough).
