Thanks Štěpán. I think I'd figure that but what was confusing me was the
fact that an unescaped dot was shown in examples for the non-fancy
split method. For example, in info "6.3.3 Splitting Mail" you see an
example of:

     ("list.\\1" "From:.* \\(.*\\)-list@majordomo.com")

So shouldn't the dot after "majordomo" be double escaped?
