I still wonder if (in the ideal world) the delimited text provider be
retired and all the extra features it has (wkt, regex, etc) ported over to
OGRs csv reader. Then the provider would become just a user friendly front
end for configuring the OGR data source. Benefits would be less code for us
to maintain + write support, plus other projects could also take advantage
of these features.

Disadvantages? It'd take a bunch of work :p
