Lori,

It is confusing why the default column termination symbol for CSV is a
semi-colon when a comma is expected ("comma-separated values").

I agree it's confusing but the semi-colon is there by default for a
reason: this is the character that Excel expects and we can't deny that
most users will use Excel to read back this file.
