Split a string on whitespace in Go?

The strings package has a Fields method.

someString := "one    two   three four "

words := strings.Fields(someString)

fmt.Println(words, len(words)) // [one two three four] 4

DEMO: http://play.golang.org/p/et97S90cIH

From the docs:

Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning a slice of substrings of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space.
