Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I have no delusions that such a thing will ever
be robust in anyway. As is glaringly obvious, there is no version checking
in that script - and I don't intend to add any. It was just a thought
experiment. My platoon sergeant once told me that if I wanted to understand
how my tools work, I should try extending them. That's all that was - you
won't find it on github or anything.
I just thought you might like to see that the solution on this end was
checking if the splitter was at the head and, if so, appending another. I
thought a similar tactic might on apply on your end. But I dunno.
