Subject: bug#9533: 24.0.50; doc of `split-string'
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2011 08:35:06 -0700

The doc string and the doc in the Elisp manual do not say that the
default value of OMIT-NULLS is t if SEPARATORS is present.  They say
only that if SEPARATORS is absent then OMIT-NULLS is t.  This
information is particularly important for code that tries to be
compatible with Emacs 21 (where there is no OMIT-NULLS arg).
