It is unfortunate that there is also the other splitter, which
at least implies ranges: :-/
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html#splitter
Yes, the documentation can be much better.
For example, the documentation for the second splitter above
looks exacly like the other one, except that one says "using an
element as a separator." while the other one says "using
another range as a separator".
I think it is a ddoc limitation: Template constraints are not
included in documentation yet.

Ali and Johnathan:
Thank you for your help. Also Ali thanks for your book, motivated
by this little problem I've started reading your Chapter on
ranges. It is very helpful.
Cheers,
Craig
