Inconsistent behavior of split

[ararslan]

Julia 0.7:

julia> split("a/b/c/", "/")
4-element Array{SubString{String},1}:
 "a"
 "b"
 "c"
 "" 

julia> using Compat

julia> Compat.split("a/b/c/", "/")
4-element Array{SubString{String},1}:
 "a"
 "b"
 "c"
 "" 

Julia 0.6:

julia> split("a/b/c/", "/")
4-element Array{SubString{String},1}:
 "a"
 "b"
 "c"
 "" 

julia> using Compat

julia> Compat.split("a/b/c/", "/")
3-element Array{SubString{String},1}:
 "a"
 "b"
 "c"

Looks like the default for keepempty may be set incorrectly in 0.6?

Closing as outdated since we've dropped support for Julia prior to 1.0 and the offending code has been removed.
