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)

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.. component1. Thanks @ephemient! I'll have to have a try at it.
