#' Split ages into age groups
#'
#' Split ages into age groups defined by the \code{split} parameter. This allows for easier demographic (antimicrobial resistance) analysis.
#' @param x age, e.g. calculated with \code{\link{age}}
#' @param split_at values to split \code{x} at, defaults to age groups 0-11, 12-24, 26-54, 55-74 and 75+. See Details.
#' @details To split ages, the input can be:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item{A numeric vector. A vector of e.g. \code{c(10, 20)} will split on 0-9, 10-19 and 20+. A value of only \code{50} will split on 0-49 and 50+.
#'         The default is to split on young children (0-11), youth (12-24), young adults (26-54), middle-aged adults (55-74) and elderly (75+).}
#'   \item{A character:}
#'     \itemize{
#'       \item{\code{"children"}, equivalent of: \code{c(0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 13, 18)}. This will split on 0, 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-12, 13-17 and 18+.}
#'       \item{\code{"elderly"} or \code{"seniors"}, equivalent of: \code{c(65, 75, 85, 95)}. This will split on 0-64, 65-74, 75-84, 85-94 and 95+.}
#'       \item{\code{"fives"}, equivalent of: \code{1:20 * 5}. This will split on 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19 and so forth.}
#'       \item{\code{"tens"}, equivalent of: \code{1:10 * 10}. This will split on 0-9, 10-19, 20-29 and so forth.}
