"words" is wrong for something that splits. It'd be right for something
that matches. Let me demonstrate:

    "(foo bar --baz blah-- quux)".words;

This should return <foo bar baz blah quux> , not <(foo bar --baz blah--
quux)> . So the name "words" isn't good for this.

Following the logic that .words returns the words, the words are no
longer individual words when joined on comma instead of whitespace...
