Oh, well, my terminology might be off and, although I think that I can claim to have a relatively good command of the English language, it is not my mother tongue and I may sometimes goof on some fine subtleties, but I was careful enough not to say that (split...) creates an anonymous array, but only that the thing does behave (at least in a number of respects) as if it were an anonymous array. Accessing elements with an index, manufacturing array slices, getting an element count in a scalar context, just to give a few examples, are things that you can do with an array and not with a list. But, OK, I have no desire to argue endlessly on this (especially not with an Anonymous Monk, where I don't even know if the person talking to me is always the same person), let's consider that you were right and forget it. I have no intention to argue any further on this.
