string.split and re.split inconsistency

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Is there any particular reason why string.split and re.split tke
arguments in different order?  I think it is confusing, and would
prefer to have it fixed (although I realise that a backwards
compatible fix is hard)

libre has split(pattern, string) and libstring has split(string, sep)
