----------------------------------

Patches welcome of course. It might be  nice to allow for any kind of validation... IOW use interfaces.

> Since the dawn of days usage of the CSV format has been plagued by the lack of standardization. Sure we've had RFC4180 but it stops short of defining many things that allows a consumer to correctly interpret a CSV file.
> The [csvw|https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/] is a fairly new standard from W3C which aims to fix all of this. It defines the format of a (basically the RFC4180) but in addition defines how metadata for a CSV file should be conveyed.
> The csvw standard is a completed standard. It is not work-in-progress.
> Don't be fooled by its name: "CSV on the web" it applies equally so in the system-to-system space.
