## Message

```
std.mem: Split `split` and `splitBackwards` into 3 versions by delimiter type: full, any, and scalar

This allows users to choose which version they need for their particular use case, as the previous default (now the 'full' version) was (1) not always the desired type of delimiter and (2) performed worse than the scalar version if the delimiter was a single item.

```
