On: Prevent DoS by large int-str conversions

[ffhhj]

They should have made the analogous inverse operation: '1234' / 2 = ['12', '34']

[tremon → ffhhj]

That's not the inverse of the multiplication though. The inverse would be '33' / 2 = '3', and '1234'/2 should then probably raise a ValueError.

[bsdz → ffhhj]

I was more expecting '1111' / 4 = '1'. This would be the inverse operation. However, it opens up even more questions like what to do if your string has mixed values etc

[ffhhj → bsdz]

The string multiplication is about _joining_ strings, the inverse is about _splitting_ them in several parts. It's only confusing because the * appends the string to itself, the / is actually very clear.

[dekhn → ffhhj]

Disagree. The inverse "string" * value is logically splitting, and then collapsing the repeated values. The logical split can be omitted, but the collapsing cannot.

[jbverschoor → dekhn]

Naming is hard they say
