--[==[
This is an almost drop-in replacement for parse_inline_modifiers() in [[Module:parse utilities]] except that
# it won't attempt to parse inline modifiers if it detects that top-level HTML is present (but it will still split on
  `splitchar` if given, unless it detects the presence of the {{tl|,}} template);
# it has a default for `generate_obj` that simply sets `lang` and `term` after calling `decode_entities()` on the term
  (FIXME: this was inherited from code added to [[Module:form of/templates]] by [[User:Theknightwho]]; I don't know why
  it is necessary);
# it has a lot of optimizations to avoid loading [[Module:parse utilities]] in simple cases where there are no `<` signs  and (when `splitchar` is given) either there are no delimiters present at all or no characters present that will make
  a simple split on `splitchar` invalid.

Generally you should use this in preference to either calling parse_inline_modifiers() directly in
[[Module:parse utilities]] or rolling your own front-end function.
