Used csv.DictReader() to do the dirty work because RFC4180 has lots of tricky rules around quoting and special characters. Added a test to demonstrate. Tested using Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.

Hey, thanks again for the PR.

I think I should have initially included the dialect parameter in the Reader and Writer classes, and permitted other arguments such as quoting to be passed through as kwargs, similar to DictReader's interface.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.DictReader

Would there be any reasons to favor keeping quoting as an explicit argument if that change were made?

I think I only included it for consistency. **kwargs should do the job.

Cool. I made the change in #21. Let me know if it addresses #19 to your satisfaction and I'll merge it in later this week after I clean up the docs.

Thanks again for the PR - this was a smart change 🙂
