possible subsequences of the sequence, in order,
around elements equal to the given element.</p>

<p>The resulting array consists of at most <code>maxSplits + 1</code> subsequences.
Elements that are used to split the sequence are not returned as part of
any subsequence.</p>

<p>The following examples show the effects of the <code>maxSplits</code> and
<code>omittingEmptySubsequences</code> parameters when splitting a string at each
space character (&quot; &quot;). The first use of <code>split</code> returns
