+ * Helper method that converts string representation of a character sequence
to actual
+ * delimiter characters. The input is processed in "chunks", and each chunk
is converted
+ * by calling [[CSVExprUtils.toChar()]]. A chunk is either:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>a backslash followed by another character</li>
+ * <li>a non-backslash character by itself</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * , in that order of precedence. The result of the converting all chunks is
returned as
+ * a [[String]].
+ *
+ * <br/><br/>Examples:
+ * <ul><li>`\t` will result in a single tab character as the separator (same
as before)
