Subject: Re: split warning

Thanks.

I just browsed several records and seemed to me that 
quite a few people (and including me) like to see that
"split" based on argument type. If it is a string, then
use string as the separator. For Regexp, use the Regexp.
This is basically the Ruby way to overload "split" method.

Was there a final decision on this? A lot of codes could break
due to this change.

Thanks
