[ENH] Add lax mode that ignores rows with wrong number of fields instead of panicking #58

Open corneliusroemer opened 1 year ago

It would be nice if there was a lax/tolerant mode that didn't panic when there's a line with wrong number of fields.

Use case: partial output where the last line is incomplete currently panics. In tolerant mode, it could simply ignore that last line and still produce useful output without requiring manual cleaning.
