Re: About the behaviour of g_strsplit_set

[salsaman <salsaman gmail com>]

Seems logical to me - in the middle of the string you have two
delimiter characters together, with an empty string between them.

So I would expect for example: g_strsplit_set ("abc://:def", ":/", -1)
to return "abc","","","","def"
