support CSV if it can't load data exported from Excel, which seems like the

OK, I'm starting to get mildly annoyed now. We have identified one failure case connected with multiline fields. Even in the multiline case, I expect that the embedded newlines will usually match those of the CSV file, in which case there will be no failure. It's a very big step from there to the far more general "can't load data exported from Excel". Or did you have some other limitation in mind?
FWIW, I don't make a habit of using multiline fields in my spreadsheets - and some users I have spoken to aren't even aware that you can have them at all.
