Except it doesn't do escaped field delimiters.

If you don't have control over your application's CSV output, you  
probably cannot use SimpleTable. Apple Numbers comes to mind... just  
spent a couple hours convincing myself that SimpleTables is not useful  
with the fixed-format CSV output from Apple Numbers. For example, most  
columns with dollar-formatted amounts of 1,000 or more will cause an  
unwanted column split.

Anyone know of a good open-source CSV parsing package written in PHP?  
Perhaps that could be glommed onto SimpleTable to make a standards- 
conforming CSV --> wikitable extension.
