My Scheme is pretty rusty, and the only book I have around is my 1987 copy of Abelson & Sussmann (my first CS textbook from college!). Between that and various random Web pages, I gather that Scheme's string handling is pretty sparse, so we can't do something like Perl's split. :-p I won't worry about this too much for right now, since I've got loads of other things to deal with (between Real Work (TM) and other parts of the release notes).
