No. In the case of the code above, unescaped commas would just add another column. Since there's no realistic way to tell whether a comma is data or formatting, the real question is whether it's acceptable to return an error or a "If it breaks, don't do that" message. Otherwise you're going to need to use something like multiple text inputs instead.
