[Chicken-users] Anyone know why I can't split with an empty string in (chicken irregex)?

[joshua]

I can't seem to figure out how to split a string into individual characters.
I could swear this worked before, in Chicken 4.
I'm now using Chicken 5.0.0 running on Void Linux.

#;1> (import (chicken irregex))
; loading /usr/lib/chicken/9/chicken.irregex.import.so ...
#;2> (irregex-split (irregex ",") "foo,bar,baz")
("foo" "bar" "baz")
#;3> (irregex-split (irregex " ") "foo bar baz")
("foo" "bar" "baz")
#;4> (irregex-split (irregex "") "foobarbaz")
() ; wat
#;5> (irregex-split (irregex "\\s*") "foobarbaz")
()

Any ideas?


Thanks,
joshua
