Log Message:
When using QUOTE_NONNUMERIC, we now test for "numericness" with
PyNumber_Check, rather than trying to convert to a float.  Reimplemented
writer - now raises exceptions when it sees a quotechar but neither
doublequote or escapechar are set. Doublequote results are now more
consistent (eg, single quote should generate """", rather than "",
which is ambiguous).
