being <parameter>length</parameter> in length, except the final chunk
which may be shorter if the string does not divide evenly. The default
<parameter>length</parameter> is <literal>1</literal>, meaning every chunk will be one byte in size.

<function>str_split</function> will split into bytes, rather than characters when dealing with a multi-byte encoded string.
<function>mb_str_split</function> can be used to split the string into code points.
<function>grapheme_str_split</function> can be used to split the string into grapheme clusters.
