I agree that this is a documentation bug, but there is an easy way to split 
on any isspace character:

julia> const spaces = filter(isspace, Char(0):Char(0x10FFFF));


julia> split("Time flies like an arrow.(光陰矢の如し)", spaces)

5-element Array{SubString{UTF8String},1}:

 "Time"          

 "flies"         

 "like"          

 "an"            

 "arrow.(光陰矢の如し)"
