## Description

Split will split the string (Self) using Separators as separator characters.

If ACount is supplied, then at most ACount strings will be included in the result. The default behaviour is to supply all strings.

if Options contains ExcludeEmpty then no empty strings will be included in the result. Empty strings may be included if multiple successive separator characters are found in the source string, but not for the last character: If the last characters is a separator string, the 'empty string' behind it is not added to the result.

If AQuoteStart and AQuoteEnd are supplied, then no splitting will be performed between AQuoteStart and AQuoteEnd characters.
