Details
This function takes as input an xs:string, and returns a sequence
of strings, each containing exactly one character.
For example, the call saxon:characters("hello") returns the sequence
("h", "e", "l", "l", "o").
If the first argument is a zero-length string, the function returns an empty sequence.
