     /**
      * Splits a string into an array of strings using a regex or string
      * separator. Matches of the separator are not included in the result array.
      * However, if `separator` is a regex that contains capturing groups,
      * backreferences are spliced into the result each time `separator` is
      * matched. Fixes browser bugs compared to the native
      * `String.prototype.split` and can be used reliably cross-browser.
      * @param {String} str String to split.
      * @param {RegExp|String} separator Regex or string to use for separating
      *     the string.
      * @param {Number} [limit] Maximum number of items to include in the result
      *     array.
      * @returns {Array} Array of substrings.
      * @example
      *
      * // Basic use
      * regex_split('a b c d', ' ');
      * // -> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
      *
      * // With limit
      * regex_split('a b c d', ' ', 2);
      * // -> ['a', 'b']
      *
      * // Backreferences in result array
      * regex_split('..word1 word2..', /([a-z]+)(\d+)/i);
      * // -> ['..', 'word', '1', ' ', 'word', '2', '..']
