It is unfortunate that there is also the other splitter, which at least
implies ranges: :-/
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html#splitter
Yes, the documentation can be much better.
For example, the documentation for the second splitter above looks
exacly like the other one, except that one says "using an element as a
separator." while the other one says "using another range as a separator".
I think it is a ddoc limitation: Template constraints are not included
in documentation yet.
