That's right.

That's right.
Other examples, the split command cannot split a section:
REASON: the split command cannot generate a title for the section
resulting from the split.
or a variablelist:
REASON: the split command cannot generate a listitem for the
varlistentry being split and/or it cannot generate a term for the
varlistentry resulting from the split.

I'm afraid you'll have to write a custom command for that. A
macro-command should do (if you are well-versed in advanced
macro-command writing).
