CSV import doesn't support text-delimiter #177

Description

@tovodeverett

The CSV team import process doesn't appear to support the use of a text-delimiter (traditionally the " character) to delimit a text field and permit the inclusion of the separator character (i.e. the , character) with in a field.

Ideally it would support the following:

  • " can be used to delimit text fields
  • "" will evaluate to a single " that is considered part of the field
  • , in a delimited text field will be not be considered a separator character

This is pretty standard and is how Excel exports CSV files.
