Hi YCP-Hackers,

I've used some ITO time to implement two new YCP builtins:


1. splitlist (var x, list, block using x)

   predicate function says so. Returns a list of lists.

   Example:

   list<string> l = [ "0", "a", "1", "2", "b", "3", "4" ];
   splitlist(string s, l, { return isalpha(s); });

   return is [ [ "0" ], [ "a", "1", "2" ], [ "b", "3", "4" ] ]

   The difference to splitstring is that the 'delimiter' is included in the
   result since that's the way I need it. If desired I could add a parameter
   that tells whether the 'delimiter' should be added to the previous list,
   the following list or not at all.

Takes a list and a predicate function and splits the list where the

  * The use-case is very limited, or almost none.
  * In conflict with the current /splitstring/ where the delimiter is
    not included.

Hmm, and do you really see any possibility where *else* such a builtin could be used? What are the use-cases? Why should we have it? In my opinion:
