How does that work if you have a null (absolutely empty) comma-separated field? Can you have such fields in your application? Why not just split the original non-escaped commas a la this or some similar approach if you do not want to use a module?

    I have code already that handles absolutely empty comma-separated fields, even if the number of fields does not match the anticipated number of fields, so I should be OK with that. But thanks for pointing out a potential point of failure.
