I had a look, perhaps it could emulate String#split by performing an
"awk split" (on whitespace) if there is no delimiter argument given?
Also, allowing a Regexp as a
delimiter would further emulate the String#split functionality.

Its fine, Ruby uses a mark-and-sweep GC, so unless you've explicitly
marked 'cur' yourself (pushing it onto another array will cause it to
get marked automatically), it will get destroyed at the next GC run.
