[PD-dev] BUG: namespace prefixes broken in 0.40

[Miller Puckette]

That's been bothering me too... it's a race to see which 'split' gets
hold of the basename.

But I can see mixing patches which use |split| with others that use 
disambiguated names like |iemlib/split| which I think will cause trouble
if the name "split" isn't made available...

dunno.
