Still, would not the nomatch token rule be a good way to implement
regexplode(), recently discussed on this list?

static string *regexplode(string str, string delimiter) {
    return parse_string("whitespace = /" + delimiter + "/\n"
                        + "text = nomatch\n"
                        + "TEXT: text TEXT\n"
                        + "TEXT:", str);
}
