I'll give you this one -- doesn't make sense.

There was a thread on this last September, and the consensus was that
the function *should* be name split, in order to be consistent with the
similar function existing in Perl and PHP (at least).

I'm open to opinions on implode() -- I only picked implode() because
that's what it is called in PHP. Any suggestions?
