I think both CSV and FasterCSV can do this.  Same rules apply though,
just different delimiters.

In FasterCSV, it looks like this:

irb(main):007:0> FasterCSV.parse("a\tb\tc\n", :col_sep => "\t")
=> [["a", "b", "c"]]


In CSV, this:

irb(main):010:0> CSV.parse("a\tb\tc", "\t")
=> [["a", "b", "c"]]
