Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Thank you for working on this, but the sniffer was rewritten on the main branch (gh-83273) and this patch no longer applies.

Detecting quoting would fit in a _detect_*() method for the chosen combination, next to _detect_doublequote(), but it needs to know which fields were quoted, and the reader does not report this. Note also that QUOTE_NONNUMERIC changes how the dialect reads the data: unquoted fields are converted to floats. This is worth deciding in the issue first.
