Uhm. *raises hand*

I agree with your argument but one way or another I have to load these CSVs
I'm given. And like it or not virtually all the CSVs people get are going to
be coming from Excel. So far with 7.4 I've just opened them up in Emacs and
removed the newlines, but it's a royal pain in the arse.
