mercurial/parser.py

avoid .split() in for loops and use tuples instead

split can be more readable for longer lists like the list in
dirstate.invalidate. As dirstate.invalidate is used in wlock() and therefoe
used heavily, I think it's worth avoiding a split there too.

# for background

# takes a tokenizer and elements
# tokenizer is an iterator that returns type, value pairs
# elements is a mapping of types to binding strength, prefix and infix actions
# an action is a tree node name, a tree label, and an optional match
# __call__(program) parses program into a labelled tree
