AFAIK not - as unfortunately that's something the user can configure, and
thus no atrocity is unimaginable. Hard to write a module for that...

All you can try is to apply a heuristic like "if there are lines all
starting with a certain prefix that contains non-alphanumeric characters".
But then if the user configures to quote using 

XX

you're doomed...
