Hi Alex,
thing is that this *used* to work in an earlier version of Rev. I 
can't remember which version broke it, but one day my scripts were 
working, and the next (after an update) they didn't... Took me a 
while to figure out what was going wrong (and I bugzilla'd it).

It would be really helpful if the documentation explicitly mentioned 
that split on a foreach variable will have this effect.
