Re: [Pharo-users] Why is split: implemented in the separator rather than the string?

If you want to do it reversed, do it like this: '1969-07-20' splitOn: '-'

I keep getting this wrong, which makes me wonder why we send split: to the separator rather than the thing to be split. Is there a benefit to doing

$- split: '1969-07-20'

rather than

'1969-07-20' split: $- (which somehow seems more natural to me).
