Oh, I don’t want the patch. It’s a terrible idea! “foo, bar, ‘baz’”
aren’t CSV, they’re CASWSSV (comma and some white-space separated
values). That’s got to be a whole new library
as long as the values are bounded by a comma, then they are csv
delimited. space is a value, right?
eg
“foo, bar, ‘baz’”, foo, “bar” , foo"bar", foo’bar’
can be parsed as (by the eye as of the moment):
[“foo, bar, ‘baz’”," foo"," "bar" “,” foo"bar"“,” foo’bar’"]
maybe, this can be a nice little rubyquiz?
not all data is perfect, that is why there are rubyists like Dave and
James
