 * DataSource for reading data in ASCII files, where each record is 
 * one line of the file, and each record has the same number of fields.  
 * This reads in each record and splits on the delimiter, which is typically
 * guessed by examining the first 5 viable records.  This also supports
 * combining times that are in several fields.  
 * 
 * This also handles true CSV files, where a quoted field may contain a 
 * newline character.  
 * 
 * Last, a three or four column ASCII file containing two ISO8601 strings 
 * for the first two columns is automatically treated as an "events list",
 * a list of named intervals.
