Cannot set delimiter on CSV export about django-tables2 HOT 2 OPEN

dataset_kwargs is passed as keyword arguments to the Dataset:

tablib does not support setting the export format on the Dataset, which makes sense as that would couple it to a certain export format (CSV).

I suspected your example would only work to export to CSV, because the xlsx format does not support the delimiter kwarg, but apparently, unsupported kwargs are ignored.

We could fix this by adding another dict on ExportMixin which is passed to dataset.export(), but I'd say your custom TableExport class already looks like a good fix for non-standard use cases?

My example is CSV only indeed. My workaround works but overriding a class just to provide the delimiter kwart felt a bit heavy handed.
