/**
 * @file split.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_SPLIT opcode for splitting strings in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_SPLIT instruction, which splits a string into an array
 * of substrings using a separator. The separator and string are popped from the stack,
 * and the resulting array is pushed back.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Pops the separator and string from the stack.
 * - Splits the string into an array of substrings using the separator.
 * - Pushes the resulting array onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if the operands are not strings.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_SPLIT
 * - Stack before: [", ", "a, b, c"]
 * - Stack after: [["a", "b", "c"]]
