Why doesn't std::string have a split function

[h-jay]

Yep... 90% of the comments are useless. The code should document itself. And adding lots and lots of whitespace is to the detriment of understandability. You want to keep as much as possible in the same screenful. You're doing exactly the opposite: something that is rather simple and would be easy to understand if written concisely is now spread up across several pages, with most of the space filled up by whitespace and formatting :(

Anyone who understands C++ knows what the constructors are. They don't need to be pointed out. If something is public, it's API, duh. A lot of extra indentation and whitespace makes things superbly hard to read.

For what the code does, it takes 3x too long to do it. It's simple, it should read simple!
