So GitHub really failed on the CSV/TSV thing

Simple delimited files have always avoided the cluster-fuck that MS forced on everyone. Now GitHub is owned by Microsoft and it is no surprise their display of TSV is totally fucked. I swear, who even peer reviews any of their shit before it gets launched into production.

HEY GITHUB, YOU CANNOT CALL IT TSV IF YOU REQUIRE QUOTE ESCAPING!

I’m getting an error that says my TSV data is using “illegal quoting” for a title that simply has double quotes in it. That’s the entire fucking point of tab-separated values instead of fucking CSV (which has always been a horrible fail from Microsoft). CSV has never been about just separating with commas and making sure stuff doesn’t have commas, oh yeah, and that you use double quotes, sometimes.
