 * Replaces text in a string using a regular expression and replacement text.
 *
 * The argument "regex" is a pointer to a regex compiled with WeeChat function

 *
 * The argument "replace" can contain references to matches:
 *   $0 .. $99  match 0 to 99 (0 is whole match, 1 .. 99 are groups captured)
 *   $+         the last match (with highest number)
 *   $.*N       match N (can be '+' or 0 to 99), with all chars replaced by '*'
 *              (the char '*' can be replaced by any char between space (32)
 *              and '~' (126))
 *
 * If the callback is not NULL, it is called for every reference to a match
 * (except for matches replaced by a char).
 * If not NULL, the string returned by the callback (which must have been newly
 * allocated) is used and freed after use.
 *
 * Examples:
 *

/*
 * Splits a string according to separators.
 *
 * This function must not be called directly (call string_split or
 * string_split_shared instead).
 *
 * According to keep_eol value:
 *   0: standard split
 *   1: each argument contains the argument and all the following arguments
 *   2: same as 1, and separator is kept at the end of string.
 *
 * Examples:
 *   string_split ("abc de  fghi ", " ", 0, 0, &argc)
 *     ==> array[0] == "abc"
 *         array[1] == "de"
 *         array[2] == "fghi"
 *         array[3] == NULL
 *         argc == 3
 *   string_split ("abc de  fghi ", " ", 1, 0, &argc)
 *     ==> array[0] == "abc de  fghi"
 *         array[1] == "de  fghi"
 *         array[2] == "fghi"
 *         array[3] == NULL
 *         argc == 3
 *   string_split ("abc de  fghi ", " ", 2, 0, &argc)
 *     ==> array[0] == "abc de  fghi "
