&str.splitn() not implemented

[Wazubaba]

To start with, I'm relatively new to the language, and I'm trying to use &str.splitn(). According to what I could determine from the API, it should have an nth() member, yet it doesn't seem to. It also seems to be missing other members too.

My test is:

    let var = "meow".splitn(1, "e").nth(1);

Which gives me the error:

    error: type `core::str::SplitN<'_, &str>` does not implement any method in scope named `nth` 

This however allows it to work: http://is.gd/Vdjy8i (Thanks to Steveklabnik from the rust IRC channel)

This is using rustc 1.0.0-beta (9854143cb 2015-04-02) (built 2015-04-02).

So, while that doesn't work, passing a closure as a pattern does:

let var = "meow".splitn(1, {|x| x == 'm' }).nth(1);

So there's something about SplitN that's not properly fufilling the Iterator implementation

I discussed this one with @Kimundi on IRC some days ago and he said he has a fix for it in the pipeline

See #23952

[oli-obk]

so this can be closed now that #23952 is merged?

[steveklabnik]

The test case still fails with the same error.

@steveklabnik I think last night's nightly didn't succeed, but I do believe @oli-obk is right in that @Kimundi fixed this in #23952. As a result, closing!
