Considerations
--------------

:dbcommand:`split` does *not* support splitting an chunk that does not
contain documents. Use :dbcommand:`splitAt` to create splits in chunks
that do not contain documents.
The `find` and `bounds` forms of :dbcommand:`split` do *not* support splitting
a chunk that does not contain documents (because these forms split along the median,
and there is no median when the chunk is empty). Use the `middle` form of `split`,
or use :dbcommand:`splitAt` to create splits in chunks that do not contain documents.
