Sure, there are some edge cases where guessing the separator would be hard, but in 99% of cases you can correctly identify the separator pretty easily and in case you can't you just don't pre-fill that field in the import dialog.

Psst, the joke is that it's a "comma separated variable" file.

The V in CSV doesn't stand for "variable". And that wasn't the joke.
