Now that we have previous thread on this topic, I think it's no need to
format a patch.

Maybe this will solve the problem:
(define* (regexp-split regex str #:optional (flags 0))
  (let ((ret (fold-matches
      regex str (list '() 0 str)
      (lambda (m prev)
(let* ((ll (car prev))
       (start (cadr prev))
       (tail (match:suffix m))
       (end (match:start m))
       (s (substring/shared str start end))
       (groups (map (lambda (n) (match:substring m n))
    (iota (1- (match:count m))))))
  (list `(,@ll ,s ,@groups) (match:end m) tail)))
      flags)))
    `(,@(car ret) ,(caddr ret))))
