I would like to be able to use it like this:

split(str, predseparators);

Which returns a range. I think this is possible.
You always return a range, and if you want to store it, you
can copy the returned range to a vector<string>, for example.
So it would be quite realistic (I think) to adapt split so that
returns always ranges and
if you want a copy, make a explicit copy in the code:

auto r = split(str, predseparators);

vector<string> vec(r.begin(), r.end());
