Hmmm, my understanding was that it stopped *splitting* after the limit, but it
doesn't stop consuming the source; rather the entire remainder is returned as
the last item in the list, even if it contains the delimiter. A bit like this:
sub split($pat, $src, $limit) {
@r
If a routine is rw, you may optionally define a single slurpy scalar
(e.g., '*$value') in its signature.
A good start, but why limit the Lvalue to a scalar? A list l-value seems like a
pretty useful thing to me.

Overloading final was Java's rather inept attempt to define
