+An optimization in C<split> to treat C<split/^/> like C<split/^/m> had the
+unfortunate side-effect of also treating C<split/\A/> like C<split/^/m>, which
+it should not. This has been fixed. (Note, however, that C<split/^x/> does
+not behave like C<split/^x/m>, which is also considered to be a bug and will be
+fixed in a future version.)
