Looks like it's been reported a few times with slightly different context:

https://bugs.python.org/issue6537
https://bugs.python.org/issue16623
https://bugs.python.org/issue20491
https://bugs.python.org/issue1390608

The couple times it's come up in the context of str.split, it's been
rejected, since the purpose of that method is to split words.
