| Description: | A collection of various methods for splitting
lists into parts, akin to the \"split\" function
found in several mainstream languages. Here is
its tale:
Once upon a time the standard "Data.List" module
held no function for splitting a list into parts
according to a delimiter. Many a brave
lambda-knight strove to add such a function, but
their striving was in vain, for Lo, the Supreme
Council fell to bickering amongst themselves what
was to be the essential nature of the One True
Function which could cleave a list in twain (or
thrain, or any required number of parts).
And thus came to pass the split package,
comprising divers functions for splitting a list
asunder, each according to its nature. And the
Supreme Council had no longer any grounds for
argument, for the favored method of each was
contained therein.
To get started, see the "Data.List.Split" module. |
