It depends on what you mean by "option". If you mean there should be conversion tools from other formats to a specified supported format, then I agree. If you mean that the core reader should be cluttered with attempts to handle various and ill-specified formats, so that we end up with the kind of mess that leads people to expect their "CSV file" to be correctly parsed when they are using a non-comma delimiter, then I disagree.
