[tools] Interest in (or aversion to) adding CSV escaping to EscapeTool

[Christopher Schultz]

All,

I'd like to use Velocity to produce CSV files and I have a routine I've
been using for years in automated reports to escape field values for
CSV. Any objections to adding it to EscapeTool?

Actually... StringEscapeUtils (from commons-lang, which does most of
EscapeTool's actual work) has an escapeCsv method already, though it
does scan every String twice for " and , characters, and it does not
handle leading and trailing whitespace (my code wraps such data in "s).

Any comments?

Thanks,
-chris
