Description

In Ruby language, the split method accepts an optional limit argument which is handy for the cases in which the user want to split the string into max number of chunks. It would be handy to have this feature in Liquid too.

I would like to implement it if there is no objection.

Research direction

Start at the Liquid split filter implementation and compare its current behavior with Ruby's split method and optional limit argument. Add coverage for the limit behavior and verify that the filter produces no more than the requested number of chunks.
