A supervisor with that starts multiple partitions of the same child.
Certain processes may become bottlenecks in large systems.
If those processes can have their state trivially partitioned,
in a way there is no dependency between them, then they can use
the `PartitionSupervisor` to create multiple isolated and
independent partitions.
Once the `PartitionSupervisor` starts, you can dispatch to its
children using `{:via, PartitionSupervisor, {name, key}}`, where
`name` is the name of the `PartitionSupervisor` and key is used
for routing.

This is a bit limiting, though it will probably suffice for most cases. I find it a bit disappointing that I can't start this from e.g. a child of a dynamic supervisor, or any other process which is started in unknown number of copies.

We could make it generic by using a registry and storing the ETS table there. We would need to assemble the Registry dynamically though but that's not a problem. IIRC many OTP services get started on first use. it is doable and we can do it in the future. :)
