bug#22597: [25.0.90.1] org-table-import docu

saying: The file is assumed to be tab-separated

While internally org-table-convert-region is used receiving optional 
argument SEPARATOR:

\(4)      Use the comma as a field separator
\(16)     Use a TAB as field separator

;;;

Thus docu should mention the comma as possible separator.

Isn't it covered by the following line?

regexp   When a regular expression, use it to match the separator

Thanks,
Rasmus

Which version you are checking against?
Here it org-table-import docu continues:


;;;

Such files can be produced by most
spreadsheet and database applications.  If no tabs (at least one per line)
are found, lines will be split on whitespace into fields.

;;;

The initial sentence is just wrong, as TAB is only one thing tried - 
there are a lot more.
See docu of org-table-convert-region for details.
