...which reminds me that my students keep complaining that Excel does
CSV files with comma as decimal point and semicolon as separators if
Windows is localised to Danish (and I suppose also German). At least
it is better than some other programs that would use comma for both
items(!) but I suppose we need to cater for that kind of format along
with the other CSV specialities. (BTW is there any way of
distinguishing between 2 integer columns with comma as separator and 1
column of decimal numbers with comma as decimal point??)
