Well many of my clients consider CSV "Character Separated Value" not
Comma... Thus I get data like this:

"Hello","Good Bye"
Hello    Good Bye
Hello,Good Bye
"This", "They're"
This    They're
"This"    "Is"    "A"    1


Dealing with all of these different nuances is may or may not be beyond
the scope of copy but it seems that it could be something that it can
handle.

Python has a csv module that allows you to assign dialects to any
specific type of import you are performing.
