I've submitted a pull request, https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1160 , which adds a liberal_parsing option to the CSV module, off by default. This allows for parsing of some invalid input, like unescaped quotes in the middle of a field, which can be unambiguously interpreted.

I discussed it briefly with JEG2, and he asked me to bring it up here in case anyone here objects. I've attached the patch.

Thank you for your consideration.
