Options for Enclosure, Delimiter & Escape about csv-writer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @slpixe , thanks for the suggestion.

So, you want an option to always double quote all field values. Do you mind sharing why you want that option?

In my case, I want to create test data that is very close to the original one.
The original uses quotes for every field.

Hey @ryu1kn, thanks for the nice library.
I also need this option. The external software for which we write the CSV does not read the CSV correctly without quotation marks.

Already 3 people raising this. (Sorry I somehow missed your comment, @vergissberlin ...) Seems like some programmes are picky on this...

And as @slpixe pointed, from RFC 4180 perspective, quoting all fields is possible too.

Each field may or may not be enclosed in double quotes

I was kind of reluctant to introduce this as I think it's parser's responsibility to deal with all valid CSVs (plus I didn't want to complicate csv-writer even it would be minor). But given the reality, I think it's reasonable to allow csv-writer to produce fields always with quotes.

Introduced alwaysQuote flag. Released as v1.5.0.
