Henri Yandell commented on LANG-374:
------------------------------------
It's still a parser though.
Effectively we're providing a method to implement parsers. Unless it's a
spreadsheet in which for some reason each cell is parsing a subelement; but
that seems less likely.
Given the huge plethora of csv parsers out there, I'm not sure adding a method
to Lang that does a tiny part of the job is a good idea. This doesn't feel like
the Java time vs JODA time bit where there's some value in having a tiny bit of
functionality in Lang before sending people off to JODA.
I know the code's in there and all - but I don't think this adds enough to Lang.
