Hi all,

Long time no post.

Please do not waste your time any more. (sorry for writing this.  I know
you are taking much time to support users for using CSV in Ruby).
 Cracks are from difference of our CSV standpoints so it must not be
100% compatible.  Just replace csv.rb with faster_csv.rb.

Replacement (in my opiniion):
  On 1.9: replace csv.rb with faster_csv.rb.

  On 1.8: Never mind.  replace csv.rb with faster_csv.rb, with no
          compatible mode.

As a bundled library (in my opiniion):

  One thing I don't like faster_csv.rb is String#parse_csv and
  Array#to_csv.  Please do not bring pollution to standard classes.

  Kernel.CSV should be discussed well before introducing it.  Needed?
  (We already have Kernel.URI though...)
