Function reference
lzr_csv.parse_csv(text)
Parses the string text, a string read from a CSV file
and returns a CSV table (see below).
text must be in valid CSV format according to RFC 4180.
It must be UTF-8 encoded.
In case of a syntax error, the behavior is undefined!
lzr_csv.write_csv(rows)
Given a CSV table named rows as input (see below),

CSV tables
A CSV table is the primary data structure representing the data from a CSV-formatted file.
A CSV table is a table of tables.
The outer tables represent the rows. The inner tables represent the values in each row and contain strings.
The length of each row must be equal, as this is required by RFC 4180.
For example, this table:
{
{"value1", "value2", "value3"}, -- row 1
{"value4", "value5", "value6"}, -- row 2
},
Is equivalent to the following CSV file:
value1,value2,value3
value4,value5,value6
