[tkr-sh]

tldr;slice::chunks but for &str with chunks being substrings as &str of chunk_size length.

Rendered

This is my first time writing an RFC, so sorry if I missed something! ^^'

The same related proposal was recently rejected in rust-lang/libs-team#590

Anyway, instead of an RFC, this API should be proposed as an ACP in https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team

Not quite the same proposal; that one proposed to chunk on bytes and this one proposes to chunk on chars.

[tkr-sh]

yes!

Given the issues related to UTF-8 boundaries causing potential foot-guns [...]

So this RFC doesn't have the same "problems" as the previous one

(Also, I think that .chunks(n).map(|s: &str| ...) is better than .chunks(n).map(|s: &[char]| ...) or &[u8])

I'm going to close in favor of rust-lang/libs-team#592.
