/**
 * CSVelte\Taster
 * Given CSV data, Taster will "taste" the data and provide its buest guess at
 * its "flavor". In other words, this class inspects CSV data and attempts to
 * auto-detect various CSV attributes such as line endings, quote characters, etc..
 *
 * @package   CSVelte
 * @copyright (c) 2016, Luke Visinoni <luke.visinoni@gmail.com>
 * @author    Luke Visinoni <luke.visinoni@gmail.com>
 * @todo      There are a ton of improvements that could be made to this class.
 *            I'll do a refactor on this fella once I get at least one test
 *            passing for each of its public methods.
 * @todo      Should I have a lickEscapeChar method? The python version doesn't
 *            have one. But then why does it even bother including one in its
 *            flavor class?
 * @todo      Examine each of the public methods in this class and determine
 *            whether it makes sense to ask for the data as a param rather than
 *            just pulling it from source. I don't think it makes sense... it
 *            was just easier to write the methods that way during testing.
 * @todo      There are at least portions of this class that could use the
 *            Reader class rather than working directly with data.
