The csv reader already supports bad CSV - that's what I believe "strict" is for - but only in one specific scenario.  My request is to make that "strict" attribute a bit more useful.

Thank you for your suggestion, Peter.  I have toyed with the idea of looking for an even number of double quotes in each line, but thank you for your neat way of encapsulating it.  (I already have to strip null bytes out of the input data because they break csv, see issue #27580).
