This is a simple function that will interpret a string as a whitespace
delimited list of values, and add those values into the array.
Note: this function does not (yet) offer to split by arbitrary delimiters,
or keep empty values in case of runs of whitespace, or de-quote Unix shell
style. All fo this functionality can be added later, when and if needed.
