1145   * <p>
1146   *  Each of the fields is copied from the input string to the destination

1158   *             o  Less consistent with C++ split, which copies into an
1159   *                array of UnicodeStrings.
1160   *             o  No NUL termination, extracted fields would be less convenient

1162   *             o  Possible problems in the future, when support Unicode Normalization
1163   *                could cause the fields to not correspond exactly to
