Thank you and please continue doing that. I would have never thought of 
contributing to the blog if you hadn't contacted me with an idea.d

I have an article request for anyone who is considering writing 
something, which was prompted by a recent thread[1]. There are many 
functions in Phobos that can be used for searching and parsing: The ones 
in std.algorighm like find, findSplit, splitter, etc.; a few in 
std.range like some members of SortedRange; some in std.array like 
split; some in std.string like indexOf; and of course std.regex; and more...

It's likely that some of those are redundant or less efficient compared 
to others. There must be some simple guidelines to prefer one over the 
others. I would enjoy reading such an article. :)
