[Gretl-devel] Re: glitch with tab-separated files (not comma-separated)

There's a note in the csvdata.c source on this point: "/* Problem: (when) should a trailing delimiter be read as an implicit NA? For now we'll so treat it if the delimiter is not white space. */" The thinking here was that white space at the end of a line may well just be random junk. However, I guess one can make a case for counting tab as a "proper" delimiter. That's now in git, and in the comment above I've substituted, "if the delimiter is not plain space".
