/**
 * Reads CSV (Comma Separated Value) files.
 *
 * This format is mostly used my Microsoft Word and Excel.
 * Fields are separated by commas, and enclosed in
 * quotes if they contain commas or quotes.
 * Embedded quotes are doubled.
 * Embedded spaces do not normally require surrounding quotes.
 * The last field on the line is not followed by a comma.
 * Null fields are represented by two commas in a row.
 * We ignore leading and trailing spaces on fields, even inside quotes.
