mpcsv-read [-R record-sep-char] [-T|--no-fields|-D field-sep-char] [-q|-Q field-quote-char] [-c|-C char-quote-char] [--no-embedded-quotes] [--no-embedded-double-quotes]
Reads comma separated values (or, if a field separator char is specified, values
separated by that delimiter; or if -T is specified, tab-separated
values) from standard input. If --no-fields is specified, every record
has a single field.
Records are terminated by newlines, unless -R is used to specify a different terminator.
Fields enclosed in quote (") characters can contain embedded record and field separators. The quote character can be overridden with -Q, or this feature disabled with -q.
Characters prefixed with a backslach (\) character will be treated verbatim as part of the field value, even if they're a separator or quote character. The prefix quote character can be overridden with -C, or this feature disabled with -c.
Prefix quotes can be used inside field quotes, so "Hello \"world\"" will be treated as Hello "world", unless --no-embedded-quotes is specified
A pair of adjacent field quotes inside a quoted field will be interpreted as a single quote, so "Hello ""world""" will be treated as Hello "world", unless --no-embedded-double-quotes is specified.
Each record (line) read from standard input is written as a list sexpr of the
values in order.
