    //          note 1: Splits a string by literal delimiter and supports optional max item count.
    //       example 1: split('a,b,c', ',')
    //       returns 1: ['a', 'b', 'c']
    //       example 2: split('a,b,c', ',', 2)
    //       returns 2: ['a', 'b']
    //       example 3: split('hello-world', '-')
    //       returns 3: ['hello', 'world']
