What do you mean by basing it off splitter!pred - should I
start with some existing splitter algorithm in Phobos or start
from scratch?
Starting from scratch is actually not a bad idea, at least for
this kind
of trivial functionality. A working version can be written in

I don't know about "starting from scratch" entirely. Maybe not
copy paste, but it always helps to have a reference
implementation.
For example, you should avoid "countUntil" and "takeExactly" when
dealing with strings, since these are not O(1) operations, and
don't actually return string slices. EG:
string s = "someGGGreatVariableName".slicer().front;
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(slicer("someGGGreatVariableName").front()) of type Result to
string
That's why the splitter code uses the more verbose "r.length -
r.find!pred".
