+### What it does
+Checks for usages of `str::splitn` (or `str::rsplitn`) where using `str::split` would be the same.
+### Why is this bad?
+The function `split` is simpler and there is no performance difference in these cases, considering
+that both functions return a lazy iterator.
+### Example
+```
+let str = "key=value=add";
+let _ = str.splitn(3, '=').next().unwrap();
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+let str = "key=value=add";
+let _ = str.split('=').next().unwrap();
+```
