Hey guys!

Been fighting with batch splitting lately, was wondering if anybody would be
interested in having a split -p --parts feature. It would take an integer
and try to split the file into that many parts with as equal sizes as
possible.

Example:
:ls
2G file.dat
:split -p 2 file.dat
:ls
2G file.dat
1G xaa
1G xab

Would you be interested enough to code this? If not, would you be interested
enough to merge a patch?

Thanks,
Rich
