Splits a string by a pattern

Lua doesn't have a string.split() function and most of the time
you don't really need it because string.gmatch() is enough.
However string.gmatch() has one significant disadvantage for me:
You can't split a string while matching both the delimited
strings and the delimiters themselves without tracking positions
and substrings. The gsplit function below takes care of
this problem.

--- Wrap (or replace) a table method with a custom method, in a revertable way.
-- This allows you extend the features of an existing module by modifying its
-- internal methods, and then revert them back to normal later if necessary.
--
-- The most notable use-case for this is VirtualKeyboard's inputbox method
-- wrapping to allow keyboards to add more complicated state-machines to modify
-- how characters are input.
--
-- The returned table is the same table `target_table[target_field_name]` is
-- set to. In addition to being callable, the new method has two sub-methods:
--
--  * `:revert()` will un-wrap the method and revert it to the original state.
--
--    Note that if a method is wrapped multiple times, reverting it will revert
--    it to the state of the method when util.wrapMethod was called (and if
--    called on the table returned from util.wrapMethod, that is the state when
--    that particular util.wrapMethod was called).
--
--  * `:raw_call(...)` will call the original method with the given arguments
--    and return whatever it returns.
--
--    This makes it more ergonomic to use the wrapped table methods in the case
--    where you've replaced the regular function with your own implementation
--    but you need to call the original functions inside your implementation.
--
--  * `:raw_method_call(...)` will call the original method with the arguments
--    `(target_table, ...)` and return whatever it returns. Note that the
--    target_table used is the one associated with the util.wrapMethod call.
--
--    This makes it more ergonomic to use the wrapped table methods in the case
--    where you've replaced the regular function with your own implementation
--    but you need to call the original functions inside your implementation.
--
--    This is effectively short-hand for `:raw_call(target_table, ...)`.

-- This is loosely based on busted/luassert's spies implementation (MIT).
