 Yes! It sounds nice. At least I can try the new implementation when
 it is available from CVS.

 One thing in my mind was to provide a way to directly import CSV files
 into a worksheet. When one is aware that the file is absolutely CSV (
 COMMA separated), it is usually happy to import it without having session
 with the import dialog no matter how fast that dialog works.
 Such implementation would be fairly easy to do since we already have
 stf_read_workbook_auto_csvtab().
 But including it or not into the development tree needs public review.
 I'll put this on Bugzilla as an enhancement request this time.

 Thanks
