function [Y,x]=spanc(f,x)
% spanc - divide sequence using a test function
%
% spanc :: (A->bool), seq(A) -> {[N]->A}, seq(A).

% spanc f x = (seq2cell (takeWhile f x),dropWhile f x)
% Will not terminate if head segments turns out to be infinite.
%
% Note: this is like span but returns a cell array for the head sequence
