It seems to me that there are four reasonable courses of action:
1) Do nothing -- the problem is too trivial to worry about.
2) Change string split (and its documentation) to match regexp split.
3) Change regexp split (and its documentation) to match string split.
4) Change both string split and regexp split to do something else :-)
There is another option: 5) Change the documentation of re.split to match the implemented behaviour. Not that I could say what the implemented behaviour is, though :-( Regards, Martin
