+It can also be useful to send different elements to different places
+(similar to what is done with side outputs in other SDKs).
+While this can be done with a set of `Filter` operations, if every
+element has a single destination it can be more natural to use a `Split`
+transform instead which send every element to a unique output.
+For example, this will send all elements where `col1` is equal to `"a"` to the
+output `Split.a`.

Review Comment:
OK, so I changed this to "on" which I like a lot better but unfortunately
yaml 1.1 interprets this as `True`(?!). Any other ideas for naming, or should
we hack around that?
