 * 1) Why would you use a double pipe (‖) rather than a single pipe (|)?

 * 3) What is the use of the § symbol?
 * 1) Some of the uses a pipe to set different text, and that screwed the original field separator.
 * 2) If by auto-detect you mean something like then it'd defeat the optimizing goal, because that's an expensive call.
 * 3) Record separator. Because I want records to be able to span across multiple lines like we used to do so that the field entry can be aligned nicely. CSV uses line break as record separator, adn we'll lose that ability.

On another note, the new format splits the note (formerly under the name column) to its own field so that it doesn't break the alignment like it used to do.
