A function that splits by whitespace would be this:
"h j c k".componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whiteCharacterSet())
'componentsSeparatedByWhitespace' might be a nice addition as a shortcut for that though?

Pehaps we could have a function that splits by whitespace.
"h j c k".split()

Well, you can do this already:let words = "rats live on no evil star".componentsSeparatedByString(" ")so I don't know how much a shortcut is needed.
And given '%w' would currently be impossible in Swift as an operator containing a letter, is there a Swiftier function name or operator for this?

Hey guys,
Very often we need to create an array strings. It's a routine task and I really like shortcut in Ruby that shortcut makes everyday coding a little bit easier and fun:
   words = %w[rats live on no evil star]
What do you think about adding something like this in Swift?
Cheers,Arsen
