--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Pseudo-ish code:

 <code>
 std::vector<std::string> nodes;
 nodes.push_back("z");
 boost::split(nodes, "a:b:c", ':');
 </code>

 After this, "z" is no longer a member of nodes due to a std::swap in
 iter_split. Result.insert(Result.end(), itBegin, itEnd) (or some
 equivalent) should probably be done instead. The docs state:

 "Each part is copied and added as a new element to the output container."

 Either the docs are incorrect or the code needs fixed.
