(geom, splitter)
return GeometryCollection(split_func(geom, splitter))
Splits a geometry by another geometry and returns a collection of geometries. This function is the theoretical
        opposite of the union of the split geometry parts. If the splitter does not split the geometry, a collection
        with a single geometry equal to the input geometry is returned.
        The function supports:
          - Splitting a (Multi)LineString by a (Multi)Point or (Multi)LineString or (Multi)Polygon
          - Splitting a (Multi)Polygon by a LineString

        It may be convenient to snap the splitter with low tolerance to the geometry. For example in the case
        of splitting a line by a point, the point must be exactly on the line, for the line to be correctly split.
        When splitting a line by a polygon, the boundary of the polygon is used for the operation.
        When splitting a line by another line, a ValueError is raised if the two overlap at some segment.

        Parameters
        ----------
        geom : geometry
            The geometry to be split
        splitter : geometry
            The geometry that will split the input geom

        Example
        -------
        >>> pt = Point((1, 1))
        >>> line = LineString([(0,0), (2,2)])
        >>> result = split(line, pt)
        >>> result.wkt
