If you mean syntax to specify escape and delimiter (and newline ?), that is a great addition, that imho all would like. > Also, escape > processing would be "false" as the default, so that the only special > characters by default would be the newline and delimiter characters. I don't see how that would be any advantage ? What is so wrong about having syntax to choose no escape processing, like "escape ''" ?
