What's the idiomatic way of getting everything *before* the 
results of a call to find?

assert("hello world".find(" world").what_goes_here??? == "hello");

In an article Andrei wrote a few years ago 
(http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx…) he mentioned a 
function like this with the name "until", but I can't find it or 
its replacement in Phobos.

findSplit and friends in std.algorithm:

import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
     assert("hello world".findSplit(" world")[0] == "hello");
}

There's also std.algorithm.until if all you want is what's before, whereas
findSplit gives you both what's before and after.
