Or what about this:

splitSep - separators are between
splitEnd - separators are between, with an optional separator at the end
splitSeps - separators are between, many separators are permitted

splitEnd is a generalization of lines, it's equivalent to splitSep with
the last element removed if it's empty;
splitSeps is a generalization of words, it's equivalent to splitSep with
all empty elements removed.

Python's split is splitSep. Perl's and Ruby's are neither of these,
but I think that removing *all* trailing empty elements is not useful.
