When loading CSV data, we can specify that a data field is many-to-many and list several foreign objects to which associations should be made. For example when loading users, we can specify an "organizations" field and list the names of multiple organizations, separated by commas. The problem is that sometimes an organization name will contain a comma. Quoting is difficult since the field already gets quoted in CSV form.

Probably the best thing to do right now is choose a more obscure delimiter.
