I just had an extremely helpful response on Julia Discourse from @quinnj regarding a fatal error while reading in a big messy dataset:
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/fatal-error-while-reading-in-messy-data-using-dataframes-csv/61314

I think it would be really useful to have some option like this, or quotechar = false, etc., to tell CSV.read to not interpret any characters as quoted/escaped fields. If quotechar = '\0' is already the canonical solution, it would be great if this were listed more prominently in the help files and documentation.
Thanks on all the hard work on an awesome package!

Fixes #836. Parsers.jl already supports passing whether quoting should
even be considered, so we just expose that on the CSV.jl side.

Ok, PR is up: #848. With that PR, you would just pass quoted=false to have parsing ignore any quoting.
