Currently, with a non-default escapechar='\\', input like:
field one,field \ two,field three
Returns:
["field one", "field \\\ntwo", "field three"]
In the 2.5 series, I propose changing this to return:
["field one", "field \ntwo", "field three"]
IMO this is the *only* reasonable behaviour. I don't understand why the escape character should be left in; this is one of the reason why UNIX-style colon-separated values don't work with the current module. If one wanted the first version, one would (I presume) write field one,field \\\ two,field three -- Magnus Lie Hetland Fallen flower I see / Returning to its branch http://hetland.org Ah! a butterfly.
