Roadmap

• Auto-detect delimiter - try a set of common delimiters and pick the best option
• Step function - do something to each record as it's parsed.
• Filter function - conditionally remove records as they are parsed
• Type conversion - convert to appropriate Stanza type
• Comments - specify a character indicating a comment to skip in the parsing
• Linting - provide CSV standard and ambiguity errors/warnings
• To CSV - convert collections to CSV
