-Eagerly splits $(D s) into an array, using $(D delim) as the delimiter.
+    Eagerly splits $(D range) into an array, using $(D sep) as the delimiter.
 
-See_Also: $(XREF algorithm, splitter) for the lazy version of this operator.
+    The range must be a $(FULL_XREF std_range.html#isForwardRange, forward range).
+    The separator can be a value of the same type as the elements in $(D range) or
+    it can be another forward range.
+
+    Examples:
+        If $(D range) is a $(D string), $(D sep) can be a $(D char) or another
+        $(D string). The return type will be an array of strings. If $(D range) is
+        an $(D int) array, $(D sep) can be an $(D int) or another $(D int) array.
+        The return type will be an array of $(D int) arrays.
+
+    Params:
+        range = a forward range.
+        sep = a value of the same type as the elements of $(D range) or another
+        forward range.
+
+    Returns:
+        An array containing the divided parts of $(D range).
