Wil Baden chose to keep c in sc2. Do you have a reason to
remove it?

It seems logical to remove it. I normally use lots of
`1 /STRING' and `-LEADING' or `-TRAILING' sequences in further
processing of Split-At-Char results, but not always.
Maybe because an empty sc2 is less informative than an sc2 of
size 1?
