Hi,

Can we give small flexibility in choosing the filename interactively for
`org-table-import'?  Currently org-table-import will just throw an error
when file name doesn't have .txt, .csv or .tsv as extension.

This patch tries to add a simple yes-and-no to let user choose if they
want to continue importing or not.

Actually, I proposed a revised patch in the following tread (which also
include more patches building up on this patch):
https://orgmode.org/list/87zgxpwqa7.fsf@gmail.com/T/#m38de818718a71f670fbc21b7abb8c789ef485181

Btw, thank you for this and I will try to keep original tread updated
from next time.

thanks for the heads up.  I thought applying this first patch would
help clarify the discussion on this other thread, as the problem is
different.  

I let you and Nicolas move forward on separators guessing, because so
far I'm not really convinved Org should try to be too clever here.

Thanks,

Yes! Nicolas has also convinced me on that front.

There was some misunderstanding on my side as I was considering Elisp
(my first Lisp) to be a general purpose language and Org tables it's CSV
library.  Even though due to the very nature of Lisp most of this
possible but Org is not a right place for this.
