For those of you who use SQLite to prepare CSV for import/open into
Excel beware of this problem:

"Text","Next bit is a reference id","A001"
"text","same again","0009"

On Windows, In the second row, 3rd column Excel will remove the
leading zeroes, if the file has an extension of .csv
The same content in a file with the extension .txt is processed as
csv, but without the removal of the leading zeroes from text values.

This is value translation not formatting. Nightmare.
