Hi,
I don't have anything new to contribute with, so I just want to mention
which variants I prefer:
"Overflow Split" instead of the current "Optional Split" since I think that
describes more precisely what it actually does. The new forced split should
simply be called "Forced Split".
Best regards,
Tomas
