Description
(from https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformat-csv/issues/141 by @jefferyyuan)
It's common that we use multiple-characters delimiter to separate columns in CVS: such as: [|]
Sometimes, we have no choice as third-party defines the csv format like that.
Sample data:
```
FirstName[|]LastName[|]Address
John[|]Smith[|]123 Main St.
```
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformat-csv/issues/92 supports to use multiple characters as array element separator, It would be great if same can be done for withColumnSeparator.
I did some google search: seems there is no java library that supports use multiple-characters as the column separator.
But the C# CsvHelper does
