Reply to bearophile,
Michel Fortin:
foreach(e; "co" in "conoco")
writeln(e);
should work too.
Of course :-) I think eventually it will work, it's handy and natural.
By the way, regular expressions should work everywhere where we can
search for a string. For instance (from std.string):
auto firstMatchIndex = find("conoco", "co");
should work with a regex too:
auto firstMatchIndex = find("abracazoo", regex("a[b-e]", "g"));
I agree, I have said the same thing regarding splitter()/xsplitter().
Bye,

If the overhead of regex(string) is small enough (vs having it in the find/split
function) I'd go with overloads rather than different names.
