str::split does not clarify what happens when there is no match

Summary

None of the prose or examples detail the no match case.

[workingjubilee]

True. It seems like a trivial omission, however, as it says it splits the string into substrings on each instance it can split, so no match means the first value returned is the entire string.

A trivial omission, yes, but a strange one, given how detailed the docs for this method are, and how many examples are given.
