Today a patch to rakudo brought up the question what split() should do
if the $limit argument is either zero or negative.
In Perl 5 a negative limit means "unlimited", which we don't have to do
because we have the Whatever star. A limit of 0 is basically ignored.
Here are a few solution I could think of
1) A limit of 0 returns the empty list (you want zero items, you get them)
2) A limit of 0 fail()s
3) non-positive $limit arguments are rejected by the signature (Int
where { $_ > 0 })
Any thoughts?
