I made the following wrong assumption about the csv EBNF
recognized by Python (ignoring record seps):
record -> field {delim field}
Is that in the docs?
There's at least some csv "standard" documents requiring my
interprestion, e.g.,
http://mastpoint.curzonnassau.com/csv-1203/CSV-1203.pdf
but by no means all. That's why I thought it might be something
that should be documented rather than discovered.
Of particular note, a recent patch added a reference to RFC4180
(though not stating that it is compliant), which also does not
recognize zero field length records.
Feel free to open a tracker issue suggesting specific doc changes.
