Am I chalking you up as a +1?

For splitAts, yes.

My breaks has generally been such that    breaks "123,456,,78" == ["123", "456", "", "78"] but the details probably depend on exactly what I've been using it for.

I've been using this kind of breaks as well in the past. Is there a usecase for a more general version?

Ooops, I actually meant breaks (',' ==) "123,456,,78" == ["123", "456", "", "78"] but personally I don't think this should be standardised. Thanks Ian
