/**
 * This splits an input string on the given split string (e.g., ` `), but checks if the string is quoted or escaped.
 *
 * Given an input string like `a "b c" d`, with a space character as split, and escapeQuote set to true,
 * this splits the arguments similar to common shell interpreters (i.e., `a`, `b c`, and `d`).
 *
 * When escapeQuote is set to false instead, we keep quotation marks in the result (i.e., `a`, `"b c"`, and `d`.).
 *
 * @param inputString - The string to split
 * @param escapeQuote - Keep quotes in args
 * @param split       - The **single** character to split on (can not be backslash or quote)
