Description
Would be really nice if you could pass in an option to the parser to NOT try to escape quotes across multiple lines. Ran into this issue when the data feed I received didn't properly escape their double quotes so the parser didn't process the next lines properly. Ie in the example below everything is considered the first row.
ie:
row, some item, that is 16"
another row, that has something in it, no quotes
row3, has another, item with quote that is 12"

Research direction
Start by locating the parser's handling of quotes that span lines and review how parser options are defined. Add an option for treating unescaped quotes as ordinary field content, then verify that the sample input produces separate rows instead of one continuing row.
