[Haskell-cafe] Re: Why is there no splitBy in the list module?

[Yitzchak Gale]

I personally use

split :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [[a]]

all the time, much more often than

splitBy :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [[a]]

But I don't call it "split". By analogy with
concatMap, the Haskell analogue of Perl/Python
"join" is concatIntersperse. Then, by analogy
with lines/unlines, the Haskell analogue of
"split" is... unconcatIntersperse.

Hmm...
