Still, argumentless split probably defaults to something. And ' ' is a

Array stringification uses it too, by default. The lesser the number of

I had forgotten that. Yes, there is a little something to be

Hi!
While playing around with some japh-obfus (which turned into my first commit

say >>~<< <1 2 3>;
# prints a1b2c3
my $string= >>~<< <1 2 3>;
say $string;
# prints a1 b2 c3
I suppose this is caused by some context things. C imposes list context
