How do I split a string in Rust?

Question

From the documentation, it\'s not clear. In Java you could use the split method like so:

\"some string

There is a special method split for struct String:

fn split<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> Split<'a, P> where P: Pattern<'a>

Split by char:

let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb".split(' ').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary", "had", "a", "little", "lamb"]);

Split by string:

let v: Vec<&str> = "lion::tiger::leopard".split("::").collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "tiger", "leopard"]);

Split by closure:

let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1def2ghi".split(|c: char| c.is_numeric()).collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);
