Let comp be less{} and proj be identity{} for the overloads with no parameters by those names.
Preconditions: [first, middle) and [middle, last) are valid ranges.
For the overloads in namespace std, RandomAccessIterator meets the Cpp17ValueSwappable requirements ([swappable.requirements]) and the type of *first meets the Cpp17MoveConstructible (Table 31) and Cpp17MoveAssignable (Table 33) requirements.
Effects: Places the first middle - first elements from the range [first, last) as sorted with respect to comp and proj into the range [first, middle).
The rest of the elements in the range [middle, last) are placed in an unspecified order.
Returns: last for the overload in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Approximately (last - first) * log(middle - first) comparisons, and twice as many projections.
template<random_access_range R, class Comp = ranges::less, class Proj = identity> requires sortable<iterator_t<R>, Comp, Proj> constexpr borrowed_iterator_t<R> ranges::partial_sort(R&& r, iterator_t<R> middle, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {});
Effects: Equivalent to: return ranges::partial_sort(ranges::begin(r), middle, ranges::end(r), comp, proj);
