As I was saying before, your use case is on the unusual side. Most
people are not really looking for a CSV string, ultimately. Most
people want to build a CSV file[1]. As such, I don't think it's
surprising at all that this function doesn't exist (in any readily
accessible way).

Why do you want a string? What are you going to do with it? Maybe if
you provide more context, an even better approach may present itself.

[1]Actually, a large portion of people who think they want a CSV file
*really* want an Excel file, but they'll settle for CSV because they
perceive that to be easier.
