In Pharo:

':' split: 'one:two:three:'   => OrderedCollection( 'one' 'two' 'three' '' )
(':' split: 'one:two:three:') size => 4

Last element is an empty String

In Ruby:

>> 'one:two:three:'.split(':')
=> ["one", "two", "three"]
>> 'one:two:three:'.split(':').size
=> 3

Well, technically speaking you could say it is correct.
Does Ruby drop all empty subsequences?
ie:
('.' split: 'hah...hah') size gives 4 or 2?

Personally I'm more annoyed that:
(#great split: #(bad great bad great bad great bad)) size = 1, but:
(#(great) split: #(bad great bad great bad great bad)) size = 4

Cheers,
Henry
