I like the simplicity and flexibility of boost::algorithm::split, but whenever I do some one-off, trivial split with it where performance 
isn't an issue, I find myself wishing that I didn't have to predeclare the result container. That is, I want a split_copy which returns the 
result container by value, analogous to the many other *_copy functions in boost::algorithm. This turns the split into an easy to read 
one-liner. Is there a technical reason that this doesn't exist, or just something the boost::algorithms developer didn't think was 
sufficiently sweet (syntactic-sugar-wise) to add?

Thanks,
