It would split on all separators in the tuple, so

Exactly, just like .startswith() with a tuple tries all of the elements.

x.split(("\r", "\n"))

would do the same thing that x.splitlines() does now. Hmm... would it? Or should two split points with nothing between them produce empty strings, i.e. you would have to do x.split(('\r\n', '\r', '\n')) to get the behaviour of x.splitlines()?

Yes, that would be the correct analogon. Sorry, I should have made that clear.
