Not yet, unless you create your own Splitter object and subclass a new
type of Lexicon (and thus create a new variant of Vocabulary in Zope
2.2... won't be easy then, definatly not easy now).  Giving a managable
interface to a splitter is being thought about, but not an easy problem.

The quick and dirty was is to edit Splitter.c and recompile.  Deep
voodoo.
