I would not mind if you put it into Data.List (although I would need to
change some code that I've copied from elsewhere) It's the libraries's
writer privilege to choose (short) names.

Only the last newline is ignored:
lines "\na\nb\n\n" = ["","a","b",""]
Thus, it behaves in the same way as splitPS (arguably this is maybe not
a bug)
