The documentation of splittext states that if a regular expression is used as the delimiter, any capturing groups in the expression will be included in the list, in order. It seems that the actual behaviour is that these group matches are replaced by the match of the whole regex instead.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.) Call splittext on a string with a regex delimiter which contains at least one capturing group.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
world.log << json_encode(splittext("XabXabX", regex("a((b))")))
Expected Results:
["X","b","b","X","b","b","X"]
Actual Results:
["X","ab","ab","X","ab","ab","X"]
