Noticed this while working on pandas-dev/pandas-stubs#1278. rsplit doesn't accept regular expressions but was silently accepting them and producing bad results. I added a check on the type of the input and updated the documentation.

Can you put this in _str_rsplit for each implementation?

Sure no problem but this exact error is raised here for the other methods so I was following the same process. See for example find.
