-// split() does the actual work of distributing the work at a node between
-// several available threads. If it does not succeed in splitting the node
-// (because no idle threads are available, or because we have no unused split
-// point objects), the function immediately returns. If splitting is possible, a
-// SplitPoint object is initialized with all the data that must be copied to the
-// helper threads and then helper threads are told that they have been assigned
-// work. This will cause them to instantly leave their idle loops and call
-// search(). When all threads have returned from search() then split() returns.
