A spreadsheet is a list of lines, each line consists of cells, and each cell is a string. Ideally, spreadsheets read from a CSV file have lines with the same number of cells per line. However, we cannot assert this, and thus we parse the lines as they come in.

fromString :: Char -> Char -> String -> Exceptional UserMessage TSource
fromString qm sep text
parses text
into a spreadsheet,
using the quotation character qm
and the separator character sep
.
fromStringSimple :: Char -> Char -> String -> TSource
This is a quick hack. It does neither handle field nor line separators within quoted fields. You must provide well-formed CSV content without field and line separators within quotations. Everything else yields an error.
