Excel: Error when CSV file starts with “I” and “D”
32 years ago! What are the chances your code has survived that long in a product like Excel?

Admittedly this is for Excel 2003, so only ~20 years. I think there's a good chance that this bug was theirs ;)

The bug is still there, and my software still has to work around it in my CSV emitter (force redundant quoting so the first byte will be '"' instead). Boo, I say!
