Okay, the csv::split looks to be my problem.  For instance, I have a record
that is

1;2;3;4;"a b c
d e f
g h i j
k l m"

This should be a list of 3 elements {{a b c} {d e f} {g h i} {j k l}}
Instead, what I get is:
1 2 3 4 {a b cd e fg h i jk l m}

In my tclsh 8.6 environment, when I do a
package require csv
I get back
0.7.3
HOWEVER, I downloaded and installed the latest tcllib on ftp.tcl.tk ...

Is this a fundamental problem with csv::split or do I need some sort of
special flag or something?
