[issue4115] split() method

[Terry Scott]

New submission from Terry Scott <tscott at fisher.unco.edu>:

x = "Four score  and seven"
x.split() => ["Four", "score", "and", "seven"] 
x.split(" ") => ["Four", "score", " ", "and", "seven"] 

Probably not a big deal but it seems that it should be consistent. One
of my students spotted it.
