[csv] Parser failed when a cell doesn't have value

[namm2]

HI, I'm trying to parse a csv file which was exported from spreadsheet, but the csv parser failed when a cell doesn't have any value:

import "package://pkg.pkl-lang.org/pkl-pantry/[email protected]#/csv.pkl"

data = """
  Column1, Column2, Column3, Column 4
  Value 1, Value 2,, Value 4
  """

csvData = new csv.Parser {
  input = data
  includeHeader = true
}.parsed

But got pkl error:

–– Pkl Error ––
Expected value of type `String`, but got `null`.

188 | let (header: List<String>? = (if (includeHeader) stringyResult[0] else properties?.keys)?.toList() as List<String>?)

Coming from python's csv (I know it's apple to orange comparison, but anyway), I don't expect this error.

I can reproduce and agree this is surprising and undesirable behaviour. Thanks for filing the issue.
