       Splitting on a pattern that could match an empty string now raises

    Return all non-overlapping matches of *pattern* in *string*, as a list of
    strings.  The *string* is scanned left-to-right, and matches are returned in
    the order found.  If one or more groups are present in the pattern, return a

-   one group.  Empty matches are included in the result unless they touch the
