TSV Utilities: Command line tools for large, tabular data files

We took the wrong path quite some time ago. Most of the POSIX utils like sort, cut, grep only support \n (or sometimes \0) as row separator.

I think $IFS is only used by the shell (with read and expansions), not by e.g. sort. It is so at least on my system.
