Re: Why is there no splitBy in the list module?

After all our discussions, I simply want to keep up my old proposal. It drops a final delimiter and is named using "With" instead of "By" and therefore would not imply any changes to Data.PackedString.

I think the general objection to the "With" suffix is that it is non-standard naming. All the Haskell'98 libraries use "By" for this kind of meaning. Data.PackedString is non-standard, and should not be relied upon as an accurate stylistic guide. Regards, Malcolm
