[Scsh-hackers] Can delimiters be regexp strings?

[sperber@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de (Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor])]

I've just been bitten by the following change from 0.5.2 to 0.6:

In 0.5.1:
> ((infix-splitter " +") "a b c")
'("a" "b" "c")

In 0.6 and 0.5.2:
> ((infix-splitter " +") "a b c")
'("a" "b" "c")

The documentation for 0.5.1 is somewhat vague on this.  It says delim
should be a *compiled* regexps, but then gives regexp strings as
examples.  Is this a bug?

Morale: Overloading strings with regexps continues to be a very bad
idea.
