+# This function has two modes of operation: 
+#
+#  split($string, $delimiter) : $string
+#
+# Split the first argument on every $delimiter. $delimiter is interpreted as
+# Ruby regular expression.
+#
+#  split($string[], $delimiter) : $string[][]
+#
+# Returns an array of split results with the result of applying split to each
+# item from the first argument. 
+#
+# For long-term portability it is recommended to refrain from using Ruby's
+# extended RE features.
