-----------------------------------------------------------

I attached a patch for the changes described in the issue report.  It includes 
the changes to CSVStrategy, some comments on the variables that were changed to 
indicate that they are not modifiable, some test cases to make sure these 
fields are not modifiable, and changes the CSVParserTest to stop attempting to 
modify the field.

> The public static variables in CSVStrategy are not final and 
> DEFAULT_STRATEGY, EXCEL_STRATEGY, and TDF_STRATEGY can be modified using 
> setter methods.  I would recommend making them all final and using an 
> unmodifiable subclass for the CSVStrategy variables.   
> For this change to work, the main CSVStrategy constructor would have to be 
> changed to set the class fields directly instead of using the setters since 
> the unmodifiable subclass will have overwritten all of the setters to thrown 
> UnsupportedOperationExceptions.  And I think a copy constructor would also be 
> a good addition to allow easily copying one of these (or any) CSVStrategy 
> objects if any modifications have to be made to them (as an alternative to 
> the clone method).
