Currently the split function (note function, not method) is in
src/classes/Str.pir, and it appears to be coercing its arguments
into strings.
This function needs to be moved to src/builtins/any-str.pir,
and updated to accept pmc arguments. Perhaps something like:
.namespace ['']
.sub 'split' :multi(_, _)
.param pmc sep
.param pmc target
.return target.'split'(sep)
.end
Pm
