<1> Treat all consecutive whitespace characters as a single separator
If the `preserve_trailing` option is enabled, any trailing empty fields in the input will be preserved. For example,
in the configuration below, a value of `A,,B,,` in the `my_field` property will be split into an array of five elements
`["A", "", "B", "", ""]` with two empty trailing fields. If the `preserve_trailing` property were not enabled, the two
empty trailing fields would be discarded resulting in the three-element array `["A", "", "B"]`.
