Import all data in character columns

I plead that all import filters in the Open function get an option to import everything into character columns. This way, a jsl developer can control data formats in columns and not rely on luck that JMP guesses the types right - which is often not the case. Also, such an option should be really easy to implement and it will remove a lot of PAIN :)
