Proposal for `splitsAt` function

[pzp1997]

This seems very similar to List.Extra.groupsOfVarying. Do you have some specific use-case in mind for which that function is not sufficient?

[EverybodyKurts]

I believe there are some slight differences between groupsOfVarying and my proposed splitsAt function. groupsOfVarying specifies the length of each group while splitsAt specifies the index of where the split should end. groupsOfVarying can return a list of lists that doesn't necessarily include all elements in the original list while splitsAt does include all elements in the original list.

I haven't tested splitsAt with list of indices like [3,2,1] or [1,1,1].

Im not seeing the value in this function to be honest. Assuming good code practices were used, I dont know how you could end up in a circumstance where you could know which indices you want to split at without also having access to the elements you are trying to split.
