fread unable to read .csv files with first column empty

Question

Say I have the first test.csv that looks like this

,a,b,c,d,e

If I try to read it using read.csv, it works fine.<

Answer 1

I've tried making that csv file and running the code. It seems to work now - same for other people? I thought it might be an issue with not having a new line at the end (hence the warning from read.csv), but fread copes fine whether there's an new line at the end or not.
