        /**
        Applies a schema to a string of delimited data, returning a normalized
        object with results in the `results` property. The `meta` property of
        the response object is present for consistency, but is assigned an
        empty object.  If the input data is absent or not a string, an `error`
        property will be added.

        Use _schema.resultDelimiter_ and _schema.fieldDelimiter_ to instruct
        `apply` how to split up the string into an array of data arrays for
        processing.

        Use _schema.resultFields_ to specify the keys in the generated result
        objects in `response.results`. The key:value pairs will be assigned
        in the order of the _schema.resultFields_ array, assuming the values
        in the data records are defined in the same order.

        _schema.resultFields_ field identifiers are objects with the following
        properties:

          * `key`   : <strong>(required)</strong> The property name you want
                the data value assigned to in the result object (String)
          * `parser`: A function or the name of a function on `Y.Parsers` used
                to convert the input value into a normalized type.  Parser
                functions are passed the value as input and are expected to
                return a value.

        If no value parsing is needed, you can use just the desired property
        name string as the field identifier instead of an object (see example
        below).

        @example
            // Process simple csv
            var schema = {
                    resultDelimiter: "\n",
                    fieldDelimiter: ",",
                    resultFields: [ 'fruit', 'color' ]
                },
                data = "Banana,yellow\nOrange,orange\nEggplant,purple";

            var response = Y.DataSchema.Text.apply(schema, data);

            // response.results[0] is { fruit: "Banana", color: "yellow" }


            // Use parsers
            schema.resultFields = [
                {
                    key: 'fruit',
                    parser: function (val) { return val.toUpperCase(); }
                },
                'color' // mix and match objects and strings
            ];

            response = Y.DataSchema.Text.apply(schema, data);

            // response.results[0] is { fruit: "BANANA", color: "yellow" }
