_and_ the default splitters are written in C, and therefore very fast. Also, 
what's the level of zcatalog-fu that's needed to write a splitter, or even 
modify an existing one? I'd hazard to say it's pretty high...


Oh, look... another "How do I get a catalog to index numbers correctly?" post 
since I sent my question. Hrm. Are you sure there's not a better answer to 
the reasoning for this behaviour than "it's dumb"?
