Oh? I tried this right now with Word 2016, and couldn't get such a result -
either using text from terminal (cmd.exe or cygwin), nor from plain-text
editors like notepad.

Note that Writer includes a method to *convert text to table* (under menu
Table->Convert), which is the intended workflow in such a case: you paste not
into existing table, but into main text flow, then select and convert to table.

I have no idea how to implement the *option* to split text to rows - and then,
what about columns? Do we need a full CSV import dialog like in Calc?

My take would be WONTFIX, because it is a rarely-needed function that has a
reasonable substitution. Asking UX for opinions.
