 Sorry that this is so trivial, but it has been around for years...

 In doc/html/string_algo/usage.html#id1761650

     string str1("hello abc-*-ABC-*-aBc goodbye");
 [snip]
     split( SplitVec, str1, is_any_of("-*") ); // SplitVec == { "hello
 abc","ABC","aBc goodbye" }

 No it isn't; the result includes empty strings because of the grouped
 separators in "-*-". To produce the 3 strings as in the comment needs:

    split( SplitVec, str1, is_any_of("-*"), token_compress_on );
