Chad J:
std.string.splitLines returns an array, which is pretty grody. Why not return a lazily-evaluated range struct so that we can avoid allocations on this simple but common operation?
splitLines is probably modeled on the str.splitlines() string method of Python, that returns a list (array) of strings (because originally Python was eager). In Phobos there is both a split() and splitter(), they are eager and lazy. So maybe you want a splitterLines().
I have asked for a lazy splitLines, vote here: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4764 But I have suggested for a different naming: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5838 See also: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6730 http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7689 And especially: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8013 Bye, bearophile
