\item Both 8-bit and Unicode strings have new \method{partition(sep)}
and \method{rpartition(sep)} methods that simplify a common use case.
The \method{find(S)} method is often used to get an index which is
then used to slice the string and obtain the pieces that are before
and after the separator.
\method{partition(sep)} condenses this
pattern into a single method call that returns a 3-tuple containing
the substring before the separator, the separator itself, and the
