Emmanuel Bourg commented on CSV-85:
-----------------------------------
Assuming that inline comments are dropped, I would define a record comment as
the concatenation of the comment lines preceding the current record in the file
(up to the previous record).
1. The simple case, a one line comment:
{code}
# Comment
a,b,c,e,f
{code}
Expected record comment: "Comment" (the comment char and the leading space are
removed)
2. A comment on multiple lines
{code:none}
# Very Long
# Comment
a,b,c,e,f
{code}
Expected record comment: "Very Long\nComment"
3. A comment on multiple lines, with blank lines interleaved
{code:none}
# Very Long
# Comment
a,b,c,e,f
{code}
Here the result depends on the empty line handling. If empty lines are ignored
this is equivalent to the previous case. If empty lines are not ignored, this
will produce two records, the first one with the comment "Very Long" and the
second one with "Comment".

> It might be useful to provide a comment field in the CSVRecord class.
> This would be null if no comment is present for that record.
> A line consisting of only a comment would have a size() of 0.
