I was unaware of this. When would I use this rather than the CSV package
in tcllib? Is it a case of more efficient, or are there other differences?

I get the following errors when trying to compile on Windows with gcc:

generic/csv.c: In function 'csv_format_cell':
generic/csv.c:1877:49: error: invalid operands to binary - (have 'long long int' and 'char *')
Tcl_DStringSetLength(ds, (Tcl_Size) dst - p);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
generic/csv.c:1928:45: error: invalid operands to binary - (have 'long long int' and 'char *')
Tcl_DStringSetLength(ds, (Tcl_Size) dst - p);


I assume, the Tcl_DStringSetLength lines should be:
Tcl_DStringSetLength(ds, (Tcl_Size) (dst - p));

Oops. Built the binaries from my work area so those should be ok. Forgot
to commit the final source :-( so the source distribution generated from
git is broken.

Fixed and released now as 2.4.3.

Sorry about that.

If you are happy with tcllib's csv, I would suggest keep using it.
Always easier to distribute Tcl than a binary.

What tclcsv gives you other than speed, is more options for configuring
the CSV dialect (delimiters, quoting method, headers etc.), a feature to
guess ("sniff") the dialect, and a Tk preview widget (a la Excel CSV
import) - see https://tclcsv.magicsplat.com/#tclcsv_dialectpicker
