New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:
Proposed patch replaces errorprone uses of tkapp.split() to tkapp.splitlist().
* Variable.trace_vinfo(). Actually there are no difference between split() and
splitlist(), because "trace vinfo" always returns a list of 2-element tuple of
strings and none of these can't contain spaces, '\\', or '{' (at least this
can't be created from Tkinter).
* Misc.winfo_visualsavailable() already has a workaround for split()
peculiarity. With splitlist() the code is more straightforward.
* tix.ListNoteBook.pages() and tix.NoteBook.pages() with split() can fail when
there is only one page or when page names contain spaces or special characters.
* tix.CheckList.getselection() already has a workaround for split()
peculiarity. It calls splitlist() for result of split(). split() call is
redundant.
* In tix.Grid.size_column() and tix.Grid.size_row() there are no significant
differences in behavior between split() and splitlist().
After these changes tkapp.split() no longer be used in the stdlib and can be
deprecated.
