Certainly, if your production system involves splitting thousands of 
values from a string.

I noticed several entries in the wiki which use '.-' for string 
splitting that should be cleaned up.

It would be nice if some of these sort of routines were included or 
available as part of a peer reviewed library that was optional for those 
with space requirements or who required better performance/different 
behavior.
