You did look hard enough :-)

The VFile class needs a little more to be completed, as is noted
in the comments.

The VCard class then needs to translate elements into a table
(think like a CSV file).  None of this code has been written
yet.

You may also be under the impression that Vcard is somehow
a sane and sensible format.  It isn't.  A human will have
a hard enough time understanding one correctly, let alone
a machine.  There is a lot of ambiguity in the format, and
in different versions of the format, and I didn't actually
find any program that 100% conforms to the spec anyway.

I did gather up examples of every format I saw out there.
You can find it in examples/vcards.vcf  This will make a nice
project for someone :-)
