> Perhaps the use case is already served by re.finditer()

def split_whitespace_ascii(s: str):
    return (pt.group(0) for pt in re.finditer(r"[A-Za-z']+", s))

solution above does not cover all possible data and is incorrect for bytes-like 
objects.

writing regular expressions for different separators/data would be a quite 
overheadish, so the idea of one-case solution doesn't seem to go very far and 
requires a bigger change in code for different separators.

let's try to revive this one :)
