I can also see this as left, sep, right, with the sep not found case
putting all in left or right depending on whether one scanned to the right
or left. In other words, when the scanner runs out of chars to scan,
everything is 'behind' the scan, where 'behind' depends on the direction of
scanning. That seems nicely symmetric.
