What is that regex doing?  Quoting any field with a quote or a  
newline, in addition to any field beginning or ending with whitespace?

That fails on a field containing a comma.  Carriage returns also need  
to be escaped in CSV.  I have no idea what the whitespace tricks are  
for either.

A better test is:

   x.count(%Q{\r\n,"}).nonzero?
