they break all the time, whole point is to have less pain.

2 invisible ascii characters evidently no one's rlly used for anything else (other than nextvalue nextline) sounds like an order of magnitute less pain on parsing the escaped escapes along with the whole junk paste of llm generated markdown+code junk probably pasted in there.



You still have to escape the delimiters to be safe except now they're more rare so easier to forget about.

The bigger problem with CSV is all the inconsistent implementations. For example, some people want semicolons instead of commas because their culture uses commas as decimal points, so I suppose semicolon should really be the standard, if there was one.
