No. As the split() documentation ALSO states, only split(' ') and
split(" ") are treated magically. split(/ /) splits on a single
space; the others split as if it was /\s+/, but they discard leading
spaces. See the documentation for FULL details, so that we don't need to
reproduce bits and pieces of the docs here.
