 *  Rappture::slice
 *
 *  This is similar to the usual Tcl "split" command, in that it
 *  splits a string into a series of words.  The difference is that
 *  this command understands quoting characters and will ignore the
 *  split inside quotes, and it will also treat a bunch of split
 *  characters as synonymous and group them together, treating any
 *  combination of them together as a single split.  (Tcl gives you
 *  a bunch of {} empty strings between such characters.)
 *
 *  EXAMPLES:
 *    Rappture::slice -open { -close } -separators ", \t\n" $string
 *    Rappture::slice -open \" -close \" -separators ", " $string

 *
 *      slice ?-open <char>? ?-close <char>? ?-separators <abc>? <string>
 *
 *  Returns TCL_OK on success, and TCL_ERROR (along with an error
 *  message in the interpreter) if anything goes wrong.
