		 * R, where R is the number of rows (lines) in the CSV data.  The 
		 * return array contains one sub-array for each CSV line, and each 
		 * sub-array contains C string values, where C is the number of 
		 * columns in the CSV data.
		 * 
		 * For example, given this CSV string as input:
		 * <pre>
		 *   "Title, Year, Producer \n Alien, 1979, Ridley Scott \n Blade Runner, 1982, Ridley Scott"
		 * </pre>
		 * We will return this data structure:
