so my counter-question would be: is there any way to do that in core so
that we can “💩💩💩”.split() it so that we can have an ArrayLike that with
[1] gives back the single “💩” and not the whole thing ?
Or does Mathyas have already a RegExp able to split like that with
reasonable perfomance ?
P.S. I am in Chrome and Safari and I had no idea until I've seen that on
twitter what kind of “💩” we were talking about :D
