Obviously what? My guess would be "wrong". In the absence of any other
information \r\n has to be treated as a line separator. It shouldn't be
considered as two separate characters, even in such a devoid-of-clues test
case.
Is the empty string a valid delimiter? I've never tried it and it's been a
long time since I looked at any of the code. I do use single-column CSV
files from time-to-time though. I don't think a ',' would be a completely
unreasonable fallback scenario either.
