Message:
Some simple functions are finished on this. split_qname works and has tests written for it.

The primary split function provides a simple way to segregate quoted sections from non-quoted sections:

split("select 'foo'") -> ['select ', ("'", 'foo'), '']

With the trailing empty string indicating that the quoted section was terminated properly.
