I'm having trouble with the kotlin syntax for methods that appear to have a vararg as the first parameter. I'm trying to call `line.split(": ", 2)` (line is a String). I've tried `line.split(": ", false, 2)` and `line.split(delimiters = ": ", limit = 2)`

After a bit more trial and error, this appears to be the correct syntax `
```val parts = line.split(": ", ignoreCase = false, limit = 2)```
or
```val parts = line.split(": ", limit = 2)```

It would be nice if kotlin supported some sort of syntax like this...
```val [propertyName, propertyValue] = line.split(": ", limit = 2)```

```val (propertyName, propertyValue) = line.split(": ", limit = 2)
```
does work thanks to standard `operator fun component1()` etc. extensions. will throw if there's only 1 part though

ahh, that's interesting.. <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/component1.html|component1>. Thanks <@UJQB4DJF7>! I'll have to have a try at it.
