Escape processing would proceed as before, but the semantics would change to
allow the use of different characters as the escape character, in addition
to the special characters for delimiter and newline.  Also, escape
processing would be "false" as the default, so that the only special
characters by default would be the newline and delimiter characters.

Also of importance is the specification of newline and delimiter as
arbitrary double byte or 8-bit characters.
