Use vcard library?

[girzel]

Hi all, I wrote a plain old vcard parsing library, originally for use in EBDB, but I wanted something that other people could use for their purposes if they want. I thought that you might be interested in offloading your basic vcard parsing onto this library.

It ended up not being as attractive as I'd expected, because the library relies on some date parsing functions that were only added in Emacs 27, and you probably want to support Emacs earlier than that. But, if at any point in the future you decide this looks like a good idea, please let me know and I'd be happy to help with the refactor.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion! - while i definitely would like it if org-vcard would use a separate, more correct, more cleanly abstracted vCard parser, I'd only consider switching to a new parser if it supports vCard versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0, and deducing the version to use from VERSION: contentlines.
Preferably, such a parser would even support parsing a VCF file with several vCards each of different versions
