How to specify a delimiter that is a control character ("\x01")?

[TimothyBramlett]

It possible to specify a delimiter that is a control character like "\x01" ? It seems like the -d option only takes single characters and provides no way to specify non-standard characters.

I played with it a bit, but I don't see an easy way to do it. I'm sure it's possible, but that's a very rare case. From the Python CSV module documentation:

Dialect.delimiter
A one-character string used to separate fields. It defaults to ','.

Happy to entertain a PR adding that feature though. Sorry!
