TIMTOWTDI, as we say in the perl world, and we could debate it endlessly.
This looks fine to me.
a few points:
. ESCAPE should default to same-as-quote
. in CSV mode, NULL should default to '' - that was in what I sent in.
. I assume that for now we will enforce the one byte rule for QUOTE and
ESCAPE as well as for DELIMITER.
