The "isTerminator" version of std.algorithm.splitter, eg:

Comparing using a
function rather than with a value should have no difference...
I think that may as well be an oversight in the implementation
of splitter.

Hi Andrei, thanks for the answer.
I would have thought as well. however, upon inspection, it would
appear the algorithm uses std.range.take, which does not allow
support for bidirectional ranges. I started another thread about
it here:

This looks to me like a language (range) defect. I would love to
hear your thoughts on it.
Kind Regards,
Paul
