I never ever split infinitives, because my training from earliest years has made it abhorrent to me; but I can't think of any satisfactory reason why it's OK to say, for instance, "in boldly going", but not "to boldly go".
The word "split" suggests that we are supposed to think of the infinitive as being "really" one word; but it's quite obviously two.
