Is there an effective way of splitting a string with a set of

gives you an array of arrays of strings rather than an array

You can use std.regex.splitter like this:
auto r = regex(`,| |(--)`);
auto str = "string we,want--to,split";
writeln(splitter(str, r)); //will pring ["string", "we",
"want", "to", "split"]
Thank you, though that removes the tokens and being varied those
would be messy to replace. Is there a way that lets you cut on
tokens and keep those tokens at the ends of the statements they
cause to get cut? This seem like basic parsing features that are
absent.
