@atax1a I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THOSE TWO DAYS AGO.
YES.
@atax1a A simple CSV equivalent would be just
'\n' = RS
',' = US
, right?
Is there any more-meaning-preserving way to set off the field headers?
(I feel like a primitive we're missing with byte-oriented (maybe bytestream-oriented? maybe not?) file formats is a basic graph format. And I keep wanting to find SOME way to express it well, and idiomatically-to-the-ascii, but. ugh. I don't feel like I know enough.)
