Sebb commented on CSV-53:
-------------------------
If the user selects QUOTE_NONE then the only options for printing a value which
contains a delimiter or EOL - or which starts with the quote character - are:
- escape the character(s)
- throw an Exception
In which case, we just use the escape character setting to determine which to
do.
[Otherwise the printed output will not be valid, and I don't think we should
allow that.]
If the user wants to use a different escape setting for parsing and printing,
then they can just create a different format.
Otherwise we are back into having separate parsing and printing CSVFormat
classes, which you already said you did not want.
> Allow to always enclose printed values into quotes

> The printer encloses the values into quotes only if it contains a special
> character like a field separator or a line separator. However some
> applications expect the values to always be enclosed into quotes. It's
> necassary to be able to control how the quotes are added, either always or as
> needed.
