[NUDGE] split on REs

[William Coleda]

I'd like to get Tcl's [namespace] implemented, but this will be very difficult until I can do:

$P0 = split "::+", $S0

or something equivalent with PGE.

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Nudge noted. At the moment I've been holding off on progressing too
far with PGE because the rule "match semantics" are in the midst of being
redefined somewhat (based on discussions on perl6-language and other
places) and the changes being contemplated have some non-trivial
implications for PGE's internals.

Out of curiosity (so I can better work towards supporting your need),
are you really intending to do the equivalent of:

$P0 = split "\:\:+", $S0

i.e., separating $S0 based on sequences of two or more literal colons?
(Colons are metacharacters in p6rules.)

Yes, I was using a regular expression, not a rules. =-)
