   Fair enough, but to go back to where this subthread came from, does that   
   make him a marketroid? Or just an advocate, maybe agitator if you're   
   feeling dramatic?   
      
   "Marketroid" makes me think of something rather more pernicious than   
   just copyleft vs. copycenter (to reference the Jargon File, speaking of   
   ESR).

   In Python, I'd model the CSV row as a class with a method that deserialised an   
   array-of-string, with appropriate validation and coercion to a known static   
   type. And then I'd get half way through before going "fuck it" and finishing it   
   off in Perl.           -- Peter Corlett
