// Package csv reads and writes comma-separated values (CSV) files.

// A csv file contains zero or more records of one or more fields per record.
// Each record is separated by the newline character. The final record may
// optionally be followed by a newline character.
//
// field1,field2,field3
//
// White space is considered part of a field.
//
// Carriage returns before newline characters are silently removed.
//
// Blank lines are ignored. A line with only whitespace characters (excluding
// the ending newline character) is not considered a blank line.
//
// Fields which start and stop with the quote character " are called
// quoted-fields. The beginning and ending quote are not part of the
// field.
//
// The source:
//
// normal string,"quoted-field"
//
// results in the fields
//
// {`normal string`, `quoted-field`}
//
// Within a quoted-field a quote character followed by a second quote
// character is considered a single quote.

// "the ""word"" is true","a ""quoted-field"""

// {`the "word" is true`, `a "quoted-field"`}

// Newlines and commas may be included in a quoted-field
//
// "Multi-line
