No argument here. I'm just thinking that the _csv module only has to defend
against rotten inputs. It can raise a generic error as far as I'm
concerned.

What I'm talking about happens once, at Dialect instantiation time, so I
doubt performance is going to be a big issue. It's also easier to give more
comprehensive feedback in Python.
