Let us say I have a list of directories:

```
archive_1
archive_2
archive_a
...

```

Is there a simple way to distribute these directories into a specified number of directories? For instance something like:

```
distribute -t10 archive_* 

```

should produce 10 directories: `sub_1, sub_2, ... sub_10` and contain `total number of archive_* directories/10` in each. Something like how `split` works but for directories instead of files. Any suggestions?
