[phobos] CSVRange: RFC

[Jesse Phillips]

That is about the same as what I have, though I was attempting to
handle custom delimiters for fields, records, and quote.

But about your code. I was getting a Range Violation with your
unittests active. Also you don't handle a quoted empty field
correctly. Otherwise you pass the unittest I ported from mine:
