[Bug 394894] Re: Glom 1.8.7 - import crashes on bad input / export can't cope with , or " in text fields.

[Murray Cumming]

I think we should follow the description of CVS formats from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values
which luckily mentions a specification:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180

I think that means that we should
- put quotes around the text fields. We do that already, using ' quotes, but we should use " quotes.
- escape " as "". We don't do that now.
- not escape ' as '' as we do now.
- not escape newlines. We don't escape them now, but we need to change the import parser to not interpret these as the end of a record.
- not escape ,. We don't do that now.

I'll take a look and make import/export compliant with that RFC.
