=== `SPLIT`
Split a single valued string into multiple strings. For example:

[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=split]
----

Which splits `"foo;bar;baz;qux;quux;corge"` on `;` and returns an array:
[source,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=split-result]
----
