> Comment handling is not currently fully documented / tested.
> There are several possible situations:
> 1) trailing comment following one or more values
> 2) comment marker starts in the first column
> 3) comment marker starts in the first non-whitespace column
> How should these be handled?
> 1) The trailing comment should be ignored
> 2) Entire line should be ignored, i.e. don't treat it as a blank line
> 3) This is trickier: if whitespace is being trimmed, treat as 2, else treat
> as 1, i.e. there is a single value containing whitespace
> It might also be useful to consider returning comments to the application
> program as part of CSVRecord.
