"".split(":").length?

[Xueming Shen]

Yes, I have to pull it back due to the compatibility concern. It appears 
the jdk source code itself has
couple places depending on this "incorrect" behavior. The typical usage 
is "".split(...)[0], in which the
code tries to access the 0th element without even checking the return 
length. I may re-visit this
in jdk9, and may have to provide some mechanism for any possible 
compatibility complain, if we
decide to "fix" it.
