Hi Evan,
The reason it's not in Data.List is because there are a bazillion
different splits one might want (when I was pondering the issue
before Brent released it, I had collected something like 8
different proposed splits), so no agreement could ever be reached.
It is curious though

I think this could be quite important as many split implementations
take regular expressions as arguments. This could be quite challenging
for general lists.
That said, I would like to see some of these features in the split

Of course, just on strings.

the simple 'join ::
String - [String] - String' and 'split :: String - String -

BTW, this join is Data.List.intercalate.

Is there any reason, that one can't find a function that splits a list
at a seperator in the standard library? I imagined something like this:
splitSeperator :: Eq a = a - [a] - [[a]]
splitSeperator ',' foo,bar,baz
-- [foo,bar,baz]
Or something similar? This is needed so often,
