vimscript split() doesn't match dots

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. executing ':echo split("one.two", "\V.")'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the command to return ['one','two'], however, it returns 
['one.two']

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
:version

This is not a Vim issue. You're using a backslash inside double quotes, so 
you'd need to escape the backslash. Or, change the double quotes to single. All 
these work fine for me:

:echo split("one.two", '\V.')
:echo split("one.two", '\.')
:echo split("one.two", "\\V.")

oh god, I'm so sorry, I could swear I tried all the variants possible. 
Escaping, single quotes, double quotes, magic, no magic.... . Yeah, it works 
great, I just made a derp. Thank you very much!
