[Request] Speech: Export/import actual CSVs instead of bar-delimited values

I'm having quite some headaches by having to go back and forth from bar delimited values to CSVs.

At least, in my localisation pipeline it creates some overhead that I can't fully understand.

Is there a specific reason AC is using the "|" symbol instead of a standard CSV?
It's because it's unlikely to appear in a dialogue?

Yet, the drawback is that it's not as common as CSVs, so most tools needs a double passage to get back and forth to AC.

I know custom importers/exporters can be written, yet, is there any chance to have native CSV support?

    I'll look into it.

    Thanks Chris! :)

    Working with common formats such as the standard CSV has lots of advantages and could be used by other tools in the project as well, with less from-to conversions, and shorter import/export chains :)

    (and won't require the use of third party tools to handle the conversion that, in my experience, in some cases led to malformed CSVs in both directions, data losses and several headaches :) )
