These make sense to me.  Median is straightforward, and partial sorting
shouldn't be difficult, at least for vectors.

I would only accept this if someone sent in a patch (which would have to
be pretty comprehensive) to the implementation.

Scheme is pretty consistent in using start/end; I think it would be confusing
to go to something other than start/end when stride is added.  It's trivial
to convert from one format to the other.
