Sorry for being late for the discussion.

I disagree with the idea of adding a new format name for this. Mostly
because it is *not* a new format and pretending that it is will be
just a poor and/or confusing user interface.

IMO it should be 'text' we already have with special options e.g.
DELIMITER AS NULL ESCAPE AS NULL. If there are no escape characters
and column delimiters (and no NULLs designations, and what else I
forgot) then your text file just contains one tuple per line.
