[New-bugs-announce] [issue2809] string docstring doesn't mention that ' '.split() != ' '.split(' ')

[Neil Muller]

New submission from Neil Muller <drnlmuller+bugs at gmail.com>:

split with no sep specified will not return an empty string, whereas
split with sep specified will. 

The attached patch updates the docstring to reflect this for str.split
and unicode.split.
