Hi Stephan,

Enquoting values may be done by LO, but lots of third party programs do not.
Dutch software often produces files with commas for decimal separators and
other characters as field separators (e.g. semicolons).

As stupid as this may seem, even software provided by the Dutch government
(like http://car.infomil.nl) works like this.

I'm afraid Calc will be rendered almost useless for Dutch users if un-enquoted
commas are treated as field separators...

Sounds like a misunderstanding. Nothing changed in CSV import separator
handling, this was solely about a change that in the import dialog
preset checked the Comma as separator for files with extension .csv,
overriding the remembered import options. Which I reverted.
