skip_empty_lines property is not working as expected #308

Description

skip_empty_lines : Don't generate records for empty lines (line matching /\s*/), defaults to false.

As per the above definition it should ignore a row if it contains any string matching the regex '/\s*/'.
But when a row contains a space or tab in it, its not skipping the row and I am encountering following error
CsvError: Invalid Record Length: expect 2, got 1 on line 2

As a work around I have set trim as true and then it works.
Am I doing something wrong here or is it an issue?

const parse = require('csv-parse')
const assert = require('assert')

parse(`
"key_1","key_2"\n\t\n"value 1","value 2"
`.trim(), {
  // trim: true,
  columns: false,
  skip_empty_lines: true
}, (err, records) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log('******', err)
  }
  assert.deepStrictEqual(
    records, [
         [
         'key_1',
         'key_2'
        ],
        [
         'value 1',
          'value 2'
        ]]
  )
})
