\brief This utility provides a simple means of manipulating a vector of 
command textual words.

A word is either separated by whitespace, or if quotes are used a word is
defined by the scope of the quotes.

e.g.
\verbatim
one two "this is the third word" four
\endverbatim
contains four "words" the third of which is a string.
