Where did
breakEndgo? I definitely remember seeingbreakEnd, so I checked. It was added ten years ago (!) in 3a86c2d. 2009 was when "text" was released, which means the function should be almost as old as the project itself.So it must have been removed later. Does anyone know what happened?
breakEnd/spanEndis really handy, and it's such a bummer that I have to roll something (probably half-baked and less performant) on my own now. :(spanEnd would be trivial to add, any reason why not? It would avoid double pass.
maybe the reason is the possible confusion between which is drop and which is take, because logically it would be reversed compared with span, but documentation would comment on that:
spanEnd p t = (dropWhileEnd p t, takeWhileEnd p t)
span p t = (takeWhile p t, dropWhile p t)
there is a
breakandspanbut nobreakEndorspanEndto mirror them in lieu oftakeWhile/takeWhileEndanddropWhile/dropWhileEnd.
