Isn't that implied as long as quoting is not "never" and escapechar is None?
If so, and we decide to have a separate doublequote parameter anyway,
checking that relationship should be part of validating the parameter set.
Speaking of doubling things, can the low-level partser support
mulit-character quotechar or delimiter strings? Recall I mentioned the
previous client who didn't quote anything in their private file format and
used ::: as the field separator.
