    elements).

+   The behavior of split on an empty string depends on the value of \var{sep}.
+   If \var{sep} is not specified, or specified as \code{None}, the result will
+   be an empty list.  If \var{sep} is specified as any string, the result will
+   be a list containing one element which is an empty string.
