Is this difference/inconsistency between split() and splitter() desired and good? import std.string, std.array, std.algorithm, std.range; void main() { char[] s = cast(char[])[131, 64, 32, 251, 22]; assert(std.string.split(s).length == 2); // no error assert(walkLength(std.array.splitter(s)) == 2); // Invalid UTF-8 sequence assert(walkLength(std.algorithm.splitter(s)) == 2); // Invalid UTF-8 sequence } Output, DMD 2.059head: std.utf.UTFException@std\utf.d(645): Invalid UTF-8 sequence (at index 1) ---------------- ...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\array.d(469): dchar std.array.front!(char[]).front(char[]) ...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\algorithm.d(2110): D3std9algorithm47__T8splitterS28... ...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\range.d(971): D3std5range97__... ----------------

Currently array.split only supports ascii white, and is oblivious to longer utf whites (but it does work on unicode).
Seems fixed: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1502
