Sebb commented on CSV-61:
-------------------------
Applications that read CSV files don't necessarily want to write them and
vice-versa.
Separating the configurations would allow them to be used independently.
It might be a bit different if the same format definitions were used for input
and output (as for DateFormat), but they are not, and I suspect that would not
be possible.
> CSVFormat combines input and output settings in a single class; might be
> clearer as separate classes

> CSVFormat currently includes both input (parsing) and output (formatting)
> settings in a single class.
> This is a bit confusing; for example lineSeparator could be either.
> (The Javadoc has now been corrected)
> It might be clearer to have separate classes for input and output.
> This would also reduce the number of parameters in each ctor.
