Hey, thanks for doing all of that. I didn't expect you to write all of

Once I've established that the issue isn't just a lack of learning on
my part, my subsequent objective is filling any missing functionality
in phobos. IMO the "take away a single line" thing should be
accomplishable with a single concise expression. Then there should be
a function in std.string that contains that single expression and
wraps it in easy-to-find documentation. This kind of thing is a fairly
common operation. Otherwise, I find it odd that there is a function to
split up an arbitrary number of lines but no function to split off
only one!
Also, any function that works with whitespace should have
versions/variants that work with arbitrary delimiters. Not unless it
is impossible to generalize it that way for some reason. If the
variants are found in a separate module, then the documentation should
reference them.
The problem here is there isn't a version of findSplit only taking a
predicate and not a needle.
If it had an overload just taking a function, you could have solved it
by writing:
auto res = myText.findSplit!(a => a.startsWith("\r\n", "\n", "\r"));
True, although I'm a bigger fan of the compile-time alias predicate
because of it's superior inline-ability. ;)
