Emmanuel Bourg commented on CSV-91:
-----------------------------------
I would argue that the quotes are only there to be able to use a field
separator inside a field value, and not to distinguishing between strings and
numbers. If you need to carry over a type information you can either add a type
column, prefix the values with a type information (i.e. "number:2.5",
"string:1234") or simply assign implicitly a type to a column.
> Distinguish quoted tokens?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-91
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Minor
>
> Might be useful to be able to distinguish which tokens were quoted and which
> were not.
> This would need to apply more that one token type, so would be best as a
> separate flag.
> Not sure how this might be stored in the CSVRecord class; perhaps a separate
> boolean array?
