I see what you're saying, but I disagree.  In Python 2.4,
csv.reader did not require newlines, but in Python 2.5 it
does.  That's a significant behavioral change.  In the
stdlib csv "Module Contents" docs for csv.reader, it says:
"csvfile can be any object which supports the iterator
protocol and returns a string each time its next method is
called."  It doesn't mention newline-terminated strings.

In any case, the behavior is inconsistent: newlines are not
required to terminate row-ending strings, but only strings
which end inside cells split across rows.  Why the discrepancy?
