New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>:
Currently, setting maxsplit for the default "any whitespace" behaviour requires
the following cryptic incantation:
'do re mi fa'.split(None, 1)
That would be significantly more comprehensible as:
'do re mi fa'.split(maxsplit=1)
(I noticed this when trying to figure out why
http://hyperpolyglot.org/scripting#split-notes resorted to using the re module
to achieve this)
