Description
It would be convenient to have a support for DAT files with the .dat extension and with space/tab separators.
The CSVFiles package can already be used to read the space-separated columns (spacedelim=true) but it looks strange when you have to name such files with the .csv extension.

Research direction
Start by inspecting how CSVFiles.jl maps file extensions to readers and how the existing spacedelim=true option handles space- and tab-separated data. Done means .dat files are recognized and read with those separators without requiring a .csv extension; add or update tests if the repository has coverage for extension handling.
