I like the idea of reading a CSV into a struct, or treating all fields 
as ints.

But, in my experience, CSVs are never perfect... because humans fill 
them, and humans aren't perfect or don't know "Oh, of course I must fill 
only numbers in this column, otherwise programs will explode".

So although it's a nice functionality, I think just returning everything 
as strings is more than enough.
