A strange thing indeed.

Even more exciting is that you can do this:

	import string
	for foo in string.split('this is a test', ' '):
	    pass
	foo = string.split('this is a test', ' ')

But not this:

	import string
	foo = string.split('this is a test', ' ')
	for foo in string.split('this is a test', ' '):
	    pass

Beats me.
