Summary
The type_start character passed to split is currently being treated as a regex but it should be treated as a string to split on.
Motivation
The type_start attribute is meant to be a single character that delimits a placeholder name from its type. It was being
passed directly to split and thus used as a regex, which means any regex metacharacters would break the parsing.
Interpolate it with \Q to apply quotemeta to the character for use in split, and add tests for custom placeholder
characters.
