Re: strict @F

According to Chip Salzenberg:

Oh, that reminds me:  Splits like  perl -F"/"  and  perl -F",'"  fail.
Of course, these might be considered user errors since they conflict
with the -F doc.  However, the -F doc is incorrect anyway: It says that
the pattern will be quoted unless it is *surrounded* by the delimiter.
Perl uses quotes if it *starts* with the delimiter.  Which is sometimes
better because it allows options: -F/foo/i.

Anyway, here is a fix. 1st part allows things like `-F/' according to
the doc.  2nd part, if you want it, (attempts to) allow -F",'" in
conflict with the doc, which implies -F",'" is an error.

BTW, note that it's too late to obey the current doc exactly.
That would forbid options (-F/foo/i) or expressions (-F'"" + $i++').
Currently, these work - and might be in use somewhere.
