Splitting Sequences with Range Syntax

This library crate provides a trait and support utilities adding convenience methods for splitting sequences accordingly to a given range.

The primary use case for the TakeRange trait are data container libraries such as bytes, where representations of data buffers can be efficiently split into smaller parts, but the inherent methods for doing this tend to be not very mnemonic. Implementations of the trait parameterized with different range types provide convenient polymorphism with the range syntax.

lib.rs:

Utilities for splitting sequences with range parameters.

The TakeRange trait provides polymorphic, easily memorizable methods for splitting indexed sequences with a parameter given in range syntax.

use range_split::TakeRange;

let mut buf = Bytes::from("Hello, world");
let p = buf.take_range(..5);
buf.remove_range(2..);
assert_eq!(p, "Hello");
assert_eq!(buf, ", ");

is equivalent to

#
let mut buf = Bytes::from("Hello, world");
let p = buf.split_to(5);
buf.truncate(2);

Implementations of TakeRange are provided for Bytes and BytesMut from the crate bytes if the bytes compile-time feature is enabled.
