Summary Remove series-splitting functionality (and /ALL) from PARSE
Description Series splitting and rule-based parsing are two mostly unrelated functionalities. They should not be conflated into a single function.

This would make PARSE's /ALL refinement obsolete, the presence of which regularly leads to misunderstandings regarding /ALL's effect on rule-based parsing, especially for those with a background in Rebol 2. This would also make PARSE's implementation simpler, all the while providing a proper place for improving upon the currently rather ad-hoc string splitting implementation in PARSE.

The obvious candidate for accommodating the series-splitting functionality would be SPLIT (but improved, see #1886).
