I've been using org mode tables where possible and I frequently
receive data as csv, is there any any org-table function to transform
the csv function to org tables?

You could use org-table-import after converting all commas to tabs
with query-replace (or sed, or whatever). Only problem would be if
there were commas in quoted strings....

Stupid heuristic would compute the average number of commas per line,
and the average number of characters per quoted string. But doesn't csv
exporters already escape commas when they are part of a cell? Maybe they
should.

I guess I can generalize the import and conversion commands to handle
CSV
material. Should be easy, to it'll be in 5.10.

While at that, is there a possibility of getting horizontal rules too,
please? To separate one row from another.
