.. function:: split(path)
- Split the pathname *path* into a pair, ``(head, tail)`` where *tail* is the last
- pathname component and *head* is everything leading up to that. The *tail* part
- will never contain a slash; if *path* ends in a slash, *tail* will be empty. If
- there is no slash in *path*, *head* will be empty. If *path* is empty, both
- *head* and *tail* are empty. Trailing slashes are stripped from *head* unless
- it is the root (one or more slashes only). In nearly all cases, ``join(head,
- tail)`` equals *path* (the only exception being when there were multiple slashes
- separating *head* from *tail*).
