Is there an owned version of String::chars?

std::vec::IntoIter is an owned version of every iterator, in a sense.

use std::vec::IntoIter;

struct Chunks {
    remaining: IntoIter<char>,
}

impl Chunks {
    fn new(s: String) -> Self {
        Chunks {
            remaining: s.chars().collect::<Vec<_>>().into_iter(),
        }
    }
}

Downside is additional allocation and a space overhead, but I am not aware of the iterator for your specific case.
