[Oorexx-devel] Enhancing the string makearray() method.

[Rick M. <obj...@gm...>]

We've already improved the makestring() method on array to allow the
delimiter to be an arbitrary string.  I'm redoing the string makearray
class, and figured this might be a good thing to add here also.  Currently,
the delimiter can only be a single character string.  It should be possible
to "round trip" makestring/makearray (assuming no overlaps between the
delimiter and the data).

This is a fairly easy restriction to lift, except for the question of what
to do with a "" delimiter.  I see 3 potential candidates:


   1. Make this an error
   2. Have it match between every character, so makearray() with "" will
   return the string as an array of 1-character strings.
   3. Apply the parse matching rule for "".  This would result in an
   array containing 1 element....the target string.
