Well, writing "string.split" is inconsistent, shouldn't it be string[split]
or string["split"]?

It's like indexing the module. It is actually a dict lookup internally.
They're not the same thing really since an identifier suddenly becomes a
string and so on, but it's just a connection my mind made...
