http://tclcsv.sourceforge.net/%|%tclcsv%|% (by [APN]) is a binary extension for reading [CSV]
format files based on the Python / pandas CSV parser.

2015-11-04: Version 2.0 of tclcsv is released. Changes since 1.0:

   * new reader api for incrementally reading large CSV files (so entire file does not have to be slurped into memory)
   * heuristics for guessing CSV dialects, headers and column types

Compared to the [Tcllib CSV] module:

   * [Tcllib CSV] is pure Tcl which has obvious advantages, and provides both read and write functionality.

   * tclcsv is binary and therefore much much faster. It also supports more options in terms of CSV formats and works with plain lists as opposed the `matrix` and `queue` structures used by [Tcllib CSV], and supports an incremental read mode. On the other hand, it currently does not implement any write functionality.
