[issue1176] str.split() takes no keyword arguments (Should this be expected?)

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

This is expected as str.split() is implemented in C and C code only has
keyword arguments if someone puts in the time and effort to support
them.  Support could be added if so desired.  But it does slow down
argument passing.  If you look you will notice that none of str's
methods have keyword support.

Changing this to an rfe.
