Description
Documentation Is:
- [x] Missing
- [ ] Needed
- [ ] Confusing
- [ ] Not Sure?
### Please Explain in Detail...
`csv-parser` does not specify which CSV specification it follows.
### Your Proposal for Changes
I suggest we document somewhere that `csv-parser` uses https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt, according to
https://github.com/mafintosh/csv-parser/issues/155#issuecomment-547439914
similarly to https://github.com/Keyang/node-csvtojson#csvtojson
