I have on occasion come across code that uses split(), more often than not
as if it were explode() with a literal delimiter.

If ereg is to be removed (for which I am +1) does anyone have any
objections to making split() into an alias of explode()? This would also be
consistent with the join() -> implode() alias.

Ps. Sorry for top reply, my phone doesn't seem to want to play nice with an
in line response.
