I still haven't seen a solution to this which correctly handles the following
boundary conditions:

(for these examples, the pipe character is the delimiter, and we expect to
return a sequence of sequences )

1) null string in front of the first delimiter.

"|two|three|four|five"    should return { {}, "two", "three", "four", "five" }

2) adjacent delimiters with null string between them.

"one|||five"    should return { "one", {}, {}, {}, "five" }

3) sequence ending in a delimiter.

"one|two|three|four|"    should return { "one", "two", "three", "four", {} }
