I thought I had sent this the other day, but it doesn't appear to have
made it through...
Here are a couple of ideas that I don't have time to RFC, but some who
likes them might:
1. Allow the first argument to split() to be a number such that
the string is broken into chunks of that many characters.
2. Allow the first argument to split() to be an array of
numbers, such that split returns a list of strings each as
long as the corresponding number.
Yes, I know this can be done with unpack() or substr(), but that's never
stopped us before.
Note that if #1 is adopted, $foo in "split $foo, $str" will no longer
really mean "split /$foo/, $str".
