fwrite output leaves one double-quote without escaping for a string starting with a double quote. This would make an output unreadable.

Here is an example:

test.data <- data.frame(x = c("\"hello", "world"), y = 1:2 )
fwrite(test.data, '~/Desktop/temp.csv')

and the output csv file looks like this:

x,y
"hello,1
world,2

I don't think it's unreadable:

fread('x,y
"hello,1
world,2')
#         x y
# 1: "hello 1
# 2:  world 2
