I'll make it a pop culture reference... kidding.

Sounds reasonable to me. CSV could be applied to other things, not that 
it ever is. I started making the implementation very generic and had to 
cut back especially since I couldn't test it all. I had even played with 
the idea of being able to just return slices of a range of things

but stopped its development in favor of something that work with input 
ranges and could get into Phobos.

Yes I'll give this a try, but I'm going to concentrate on documentation 
of what is there.
