Add support for semi-colon separated text files? #60

Not sure whether this belongs here or on the main Voyager2 repository?

Is it possible to add support for semi-colon separated files, please? Voyager currently supports comma- and tab- separated files, but it would be great to be able to use semi-colon separated files too (especially in continental Europe, where "," is used as a decimal separator). This would also make Jupyter Lab Voyager more consistent with the formats already supported by Open with > Table for text files.

Yes, this would be extremely useful. Also because the default excel separator is a semicolon I often find myself working with semicolon separated files.
