+ <description>
+ Formats the string by replacing all occurrences of [param placeholder] with the elements of [param values].
+ [param values] can be a [Dictionary] or an [Array]. Any underscores in [param placeholder] will be replaced with the corresponding keys in advance. Array elements use their index as keys.

+
+ # Prints: User 42 is Godot.
+ print("User {id} is {name}.".format({"id": 42, "name": "Godot"}))
+ [/codeblock]
+ Some additional handling is performed when [param values] is an array. If [param placeholder] does not contain an underscore, the elements of the array will be used to replace one occurrence of the placeholder in turn; If an array element is another 2-element array, it'll be interpreted as a key-value pair.
+ [codeblock]
+ # Prints: User 42 is Godot.

+ <description>
+ Splits the string by a [param delimiter] string and returns an array of the substrings, starting from right. If [param delimiter] is an empty string, each substring will be a single character.
+ The splits in the returned array are sorted in the same order as the original string, from left to right.
+ If [param allow_empty] is [code]true[/code], and there are two adjacent delimiters in the string, it will add an empty string to the array of substrings at this position.
+ If [param maxsplit] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the right up to [param maxsplit]. The default value of 0 means that all items are split, thus giving the same result as [method split].

+ Splits the string by a [param delimiter] string and returns an array of the substrings. The [param delimiter] can be of any length. If [param delimiter] is an empty string, each substring will be a single character.
+ If [param allow_empty] is [code]true[/code], and there are two adjacent delimiters in the string, it will add an empty string to the array of substrings at this position.
+ If [param maxsplit] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the left up to [param maxsplit]. The default value of [code]0[/code] means that all items are split.
+ If you need only one element from the array at a specific index, [method get_slice] is a more performant option.

+ [codeblocks]

+ GD.Print(someArray[0]); // Prints "Four"
+ GD.Print(someArray[1]); // Prints "Three,Two,One"

+ Converts the String (which is a character array) to ASCII/Latin-1 encoded [PackedByteArray] (which is an array of bytes).
