It reminded me of The Twin spreadsheet from the late 1980s. I worked at a plastics plant that used it in their color lab until at least 2013 when I left. There were thousands of co…

That's a really good point. I'm using macOS and I tested -w option against a CSV file that is about 430MB in size and has about 18,000,000 words in it. The time was 0.989. When I r…
