I have on occasion come across code that uses split(), more often than not as if it were explode() with a literal delimiter.
If ereg is to be removed (for which I am +1) does anyone have any objections to making split() into an alias of explode()? This would also be consistent with the join() -> implode() alias. Ps. Sorry for top reply, my phone doesn't seem to want to play nice with an in line response.
