Really? That's great news. I was not aware of this.

I checked the nightly change log 
(https://dlang.org/changelog/pending.html) before posting but I 
hadn't seen anything. After some searching on Github, I found this
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/21692

When I searched the change log for 20184, then there was an entry 
for "String maxsplit", but this hasn't had any activity since 
December 2024, which was several months before the most recent 
release. And it looks like this activity was just the comment 
about the issue getting moved. Before that the last activity was 
2019. It looks like the github issues have different numbers than 
the bugzilla ones. Maybe something funky going on here with how 
the change log is generated.
