I would prefer the current pugs behavior; it's consistent with the general
case, in which a string which does not match the splitting regex results in
a single-item list containing the original string. This is the Python
behavior.
I find the Perl5 (and, surprisingly, Ruby) behavior rather counterintuitive.
