Actually, I have another suggestion :

3) When no separator is given as argument, do as python does [1]:
"If sep is not specified or is None, a different splitting algorithm is
applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded as a single separator,
and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end if the
string has leading or trailing whitespace."


Best regards,

Bernard
