Splits <code>s</code> at every occurrence of the non-empty separator <code>sep</code> and returns the pieces as a <code>[]str</code> — the inverse of <code>Text.join</code>. Adjacent separators yield empty pieces, and a string with no separator returns a one-element list holding the whole string. Use it to parse CSV rows, command arguments, or delimited save data.
