 Return a list of the words in the string, using \var{sep} as the
 delimiter string.  If \var{maxsplit} is given, at most \var{maxsplit}
 splits are done. (thus, the list will have at most \code{\var{maxsplit}+1}

 is no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).
 Consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are
 deemed to delimit empty strings (for example, \samp{'1,,2'.split(',')}
