Quotes escaping is a recommendation in RFC 4180, however CSV should allow stray quotes in fields not starting with a quote.

That means this should be valid:

A,B"C,D

Whereas this should still not be valid:

A,"B"C",D

Not valid as per RFC, and nobody seems interested in this.

Just had this exact issue in a file generated by a legacy system, since this issue is quite old, is there a workaround for now?
