--- Comment #1 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
Not necessarily. If standard text is pasted from the system clipboard then
offering Tab is actually a good choice because any text can contain all other
separators without them being actually separators, specifically comma.
Furthermore, if cells are copied to clipboard and pasted as text-only they will
be separated by Tab, so at least in that case it's the only sensible choice.
Also note that the last choice is remembered, so whether you actually get Tab
offered depends on your previous action. For the first time of dialog usage we
even already try to determine a separator in the context of ending a quoted
field. "apply some simple heuristic" is wishful thinking, but what exactly
should that "simple" be? The "if it has no [...separator...] then don't offer
it" doesn't help either, because a checked separator that isn't used in data
has no effect on the import, so not offering it is just cosmetic.
