    Description

      Commons CSV doesn't handle escaped line separators, for example:

      value1;value2;value3a\
value3b

      In this case the expected result is:

      ["value1", "value2", "value3a\nvalue3b"]

      This kind of escaping is produced by MySQL, whether the field enclosing is enabled or not. It's possible to see enclosing quotes and escaped line separators like this:

      "value1";"value2";"value3a\
value3b"
