Something similar to this was discussed at length on the development list
last year. I don't think the discussion reached any concrete decision, but
the proposal was to add partition and rpartition methods to strings:
As described by Time Delaney:
partition() splits a string into 3 parts - the bit before the
first occurrance of the separator, the separator, and the bit
after the separator. If the separator isn't in the string at
all then the entire string is returned as "the bit before" and
the returned separator and bit after are empty strings.
