Hmmm... If method names are the way to go, I'd much rather we found a more
active verb name than "scanning". How about "extract" or "slice"? Even
simply "scan" sounds better to me.
Back to the infix operator idea, I agree with Peter on the one hand that
there's a certain symmetry to using infix "/" and with the opposing camp
that the only reason "%" works for emitting strings is the use of C's %
format character. "*" sort of suggests exploding... ;-)
