Feature Request: Format CSV files

[gdevenyi]

lesspipe offers formatting of CSV files, by breaking on comma and using the column command line program to provide easily readable output.

I would like to request moar provide similar formatting functionality.

Colouring the columns (rainbowcsv) is another way which would greatly improve readability of CSVs.

Thanks.

I'm not so keen on neither formatting nor calling external tools, but highlighting I think should be there.

I filed a request at alecthomas/chroma#1004 since there seems not to be any CSV highlighter in the library I use.

Setting to help-wanted since they say:

Please note that lexers are contributed by the community. Your best option is to contribute this yourself.

The fastest way to get working CSV highlighting might be to implement it for Chroma.
