Each time I use strsep I want something like this;
this serves to snappily highlight the programming model,
esp. in contrast to strtok_r ‒ I elided the long
(and, frankly, gratuitous, even there) argv explanation
‒ if you need it, you can read the original
(or the usage string, or the seven-line main)
