Follow-up Comment #1, bug #34709 (project octave):
OK, I now understand my confusion!
The SEP argument is REQUIRED, but the STRIP_EMPTY argument is OPTIONAL. The
documentation fails to explain that.
The P is probably a holdover from the C implementation indicating a string
ptr, but in the Octave world, it really means a string argument, so that the P
should be replaced by S to be consistent.
So... The problem is that the usage documentation is lacking/confusing. I
finally got strsplit to work.
