Also add splitOnce ? #14

Open hax opened 2 years ago

hax commented 2 years ago

As many comments, it's clear that a very common use case is splitting the string into two parts, so maybe we could also add splitOnce(sep) (shorthand for splitN(2, sep)).

Prior arts:

split-on-first npm package by @sindresorhus , 5000k+ weekly downloads
Rust: split_once https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html#method.split_once

That seems like a high cost to avoid 2,.
