As mentioned validation can be turned off

auto data = std.csv.csvReader!(string, 
Malformed.ignore)(input).array;

I forgot to mention that one of the requirements for std.csv was 
that it worked on the base range type, input range. Not that 
slicing wouldn't be a valid addition.

I was also going to do the same thing with my sliced CSV, no 
fixing of the escaped quote. That would have just been a helper 
function the user could map over the results.
