pub fn splitn_mut<F>(&mut self, n: usize, pred: F) -> SplitNMut<'_, T, F>
slice::splitn_mut — Returns an iterator over mutable subslices separated by elements that match pred, limited to returning at most n items. The matched element is not contained in the subslices.
The last element returned, if any, will contain the remainder of the slice.

...The macro is called matching!:
matching!(1, "2", 3.0)
It basically expands to a pattern match on the arguments, along with useful diagnostics in the case of an unsuccessful match.
Every string literal is matched using AsRef<str>.
The input matching was not the hardest part to design.

pub fn rmatches<P>(&self, pat: P) -> RMatches<'_, P>
str::rmatches — Returns an iterator over the disjoint matches of a pattern within this string slice, yielded in reverse order.
The pattern can be a &str, char, a slice of chars, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator requires that the...

Both require unsafe code.
