[7.x] Add split() to Stringable class

[tuarrep]

Add a split() method to Stringable as a proxy to preg_split() to allow splitting by regex in addition of explode()

Example

Str::of('hypertext language, programming')
    ->split('/[\s,]+/');

/*
Illuminate\Support\Collection {#3523
     all: [
       "hypertext",
       "language",
       "programming",
     ],
   }

*/

I think you will need to first add this method to the Str class.

What about error handling?

[tuarrep]

preg_split returns false on failing

[GrahamCampbell]

Yes, and then you hide the error? Fail doesn't mean no matches, it means that the pattern was invalid, but you hide this.

[tuarrep]

Ok get it! What's the recommended handling in this case? Removing the condition? Errors seem to be ignored for most methods
eg:

framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Stringable.php

Line 336 in 87bb135

preg_match_all($pattern, $this->value, $matches);

As it was similar to explode I've though it'll be sufficient to add this only to Stringable. But I can
