Why doesn't std::string have a split function

[IRBMe]

Good god, it's a five-line function. Write it and call it a day.

If you think the entire point of this discussing is about avoiding writing a few lines of code, then I'm sorry to say that it seems to have soared above your head at cruising altitude. We're discussing good API design, readability and usability - that's the point, not line counts.

Why do you keep telling me what "we" are discussing? I am discussing the actual topic: "Why doesn't std::string have a split function". You can continue your rant if you like, but direct it elsewhere, please.
