Description
The SplitEditorAreaPane only allows splitting (via the right-click context menu) on non-empty panes:
https://github.com/enthought/pyface/blob/c486264ff66ea53b81b2a442426292fb4ea6fba6/pyface/ui/qt4/tasks/split_editor_area_pane.py#L197-L198
I can't see a good reason for this restriction, and am currently experimenting in a Pyface-using project with allowing splits in an empty area. The UX seems reasonable, and if no technical issues emerge, it would be good to move the changes into PyFace itself.
