This class is designed as C++20-style generator / lazy sequence, and
the new return value of QString{,View}::tokenize().
It thus is more similar to a hand-coded loop around indexOf() than
QString::split(), which returns a container (the filling of which
allocates memory).
The template arguments of QStringTokenizer intricately depend on the
arguments with which it is constructed, so QStringTokenizer cannot be used
directly without C++17 CTAD. To work around this issue, add a factory
function, qTokenize().
LATER:
- ~Optimize QLatin1String needles (avoid repeated L1->UTF16 conversion)~
(out of scope for QStringTokenizer, should be solved in the respective
indexOf())
- Keep per-instantiation state:
* Boyer-Moore table
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QStringTokenizer] New class.
[ChangeLog][QtCore][qTokenize] New function.
