Please rename split(text,text,int) to splitpart

It seems that my last mail on this did not get through to the list ;(

Please consider renaming the new builtin function

split(text,text,int)

to something else, perhaps

split_part(text,text,int)

(like date_part)

The reason for this request is that 3 most popular scripting languages
(perl, python, php) all have also a function with similar signature, but
returning an array instead of single element and the (optional) third
argument is limit (maximum number of splits to perform)

I think that it would be good to have similar function in (some future
release of) postgres, but if we now let in a function with same name and
arguments but returning a single string instead an array of them, then
we will need to invent a new and not so easy to recognise name for the
"real" split function.
