It's 100% accurate, but 99% misleading. Plain 100% accurate would be: # NB: split(s) is NOT the same as split(s, ' '). # And, by the way, since split is the same as splitfields, # it follows that # split(s) is NOT the same as splitfields(s, ' '). # either. Even better is to get rid of the NB comments, so I just did that. Thanks for pointing it out!
