While it´s generally not encouraged I think it´d be good not to mess up when
the needs comes up. In PCL-CVS I wrote cvs-string->strings (and
a corresponding cvs-strings->string) to handle that.
It´s similar to split-string except that it understands the "..." notation
of Elisp (with escapes and all: it just uses `read´ to handle it). I think
something like that should be added to subr.el since it comes in handy for
any application that needs to prompt for a command and then needs to
decompose it.
