Summary: String#split includes match groups in result 

Initial Comment:
on a debian etch system:

pic@stakhanov:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i486-linux]
pic@stakhanov:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> 'en;q=0.4,it,ru-RU,ar;q=1.34,he'.split(/(;q=\d+\.\d+)?,/) => ["en", ";q=0.4", "it", "ru-RU", "ar", ";q=1.34", "he"]

Is this the intended behaviour?
Shouldn't the result be ["en", "it", "ru-RU", "ar", "he"] instead?
