Andrew McNamara <andrewm at object-craft.com.au> added the comment:
Note that there is one case that cannot easily be addressed via pre-processing: where the comment character coincidently appears at the start of a line within a multi-line quoted field. For example:
# This is a comment
1, 2, "This is field^M
#3"
What this should produce is debatable, but it would be hard to make it produce:
["1", "2", "This is field^M#3"]
without implementing it within the parser.
