    more of a concept

    And it’s better to be considered so.
    The name itself suggests a Comma as a separator, but we know how inconvenient that is and that tab characters tend to be useful in most cases.
    Even LibreOffice Calc asks the user what they expect as the separator when given a csv file, even if it has enough commas to feel correct.
