       Convert common, but less awesome, tabular data formats to CSV.

   positional arguments:
       FILE   The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept input as piped data via STDIN.

              and to escape the QUOTECHAR if --no-doublequote is specified.

       -z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT, --maxfieldsize FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT
              Maximum length of a single field in the input CSV file.
