Comment # 6
on bug 12500
from Guy Harris
As for the first problem, we should perhaps *force* quoting if we're using
anything other than tab as the field separator and are using machine-readable
format. "Force" could either mean "if you don't specify a quote character, we
will use a double-quote" or "if you don't specify a quote character, we will
print an error message and exit".
(We also need to handle quote characters within quoted strings in
machine-readable output; "machine-readable" means "parseable", and if you don't
quote quote characters within strings, it's not parseable....
We could also omit the quotes if they're not necessary; I wrote some code a
while ago to do that, and have it ready to use.)
