> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The CSVRecord#get(String) method has inconsistent behaviour.
> If no header mapping was provided, then it throws IllegalStateException.
> If the header name is not found, null is returned.
> Apart from being inconsistent, it might be useful in the future to be able to return null as a column value (as distinct from the empty string).
> It should throw IllegalArgumentException for a missing header name, instead of returning null.
