Think issue remains that, on Windows for example, there is no LibreOffice
"association" of the .tsv in the 'Spreadsheet' "globalfilter" class. The .csv
is there and responds to os/DE opening, but .tsv|.tab|.csv.gz etc. are not.

Also, since LibreOffice doesn't record itself as a program handling these other
delimeted formats--so user must use os/DE to select "open file with", and find
the launcher for the desired LO module.

And if call is made from an open Writer session, it will open into Writer (bug
89683 so => WFM). 

So, IIRC what is still missing are the "localfilter" classes for opening these
formats into specific LO modules.  E.g. to list the available filters in os/DE
and pick specific filter from the list.
