-// 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 we tell our helper threads 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.
