One more problem with string splitting

hey @jmesnil - regarding lists of strings (StringUtil.split) - given the sequence foo\\,bar, I believe the current code would yield a list with a single element foo\,bar. Is that the intention, or is it intended that that code yield a list of foo\ and bar?

we have a test for this use case: https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-config/blob/70abffdaadbdcf21ddf5c976157c517e29735f8d/implementation/src/test/java/io/smallrye/config/StringUtilTest.java#L29
large:cheese\\,mushroom,medium:chicken,small:pepperoni will yield a list of large:cheese,mushroom, medium:chicken, small:pepperoni

so foo\\,bar should return a single item containing foo,bar

oh, by sequence foo\\,bar do you mean the String "foo\\\\,bar"?

if that's the case, the backslashes have no meaning and I'd expect that the returned value is a list of foo\\ & bar
