Python (at least, maybe Ruby/perl as well) has a csv class whose constructor takes a delimiter, defaulting to ","; R accomplishes the same using read.table's sep parameter. OpenCSV, a Java class for manipulating CSVs, also has a notion of a separator. It's not too difficult to add, I'd be willing to do so, if there are enough "+1"s, let's say 4 in addition to myself.
