CSV/TSV parsing issues #3

Description

There are some issues when parsing strings copied from Excel that contain double quotes.

For example, when you write "A in one cell and "B in the next one, the text copied by Excel is "A "B. When you copy that to Notepad and then back to Excel, even Excel does not know what to do!

I have tried other JavaScript CSV parsing engines and they are also confused:

I haven't tried this one because it seems NodeJS only:

I am writing this issue because I want to get back to this at some point. Anyone cares to help? Pull request #2 was a good start but more work is requied apparently.
