Ok what I want is more like

for a,b in S:gmatch("()%S+()") do

BUT I also want string.find-like results:

local from, to, match1, match2 = S:find("(%S+) (%S+)")

Can I get

S="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
for from, to, match1, match2 in <something> do
  print(from, to, match1, match2)
end
--[[
1	9	The	quick
11	19	brown	fox
21	30	jumps	over
32	39	the	lazy
]]

(I find it more intuitive than `for from, match1, match2, to`)
