The write-csv function in clojure.data.csv isn't thread safe because even 
though it uses the synchronized .write method on BufferedReader, it does so at 
the cell level 
<https://github.com/clojure/data.csv/blob/master/src/main/clojure/clojure/data/csv.clj#L101>,
 
not the row/line level. Is this expected or a bug? Is there a reason it 
shouldn't be made thread safe?

Attached is a simple test showing the result of calling write-csv with a 
single thread vs. 100 threads. With a single thread, the output is correct, 
and with 100 threads the result is a jumbled mess. Conversely, if I use 
clojure-csv <https://github.com/davidsantiago/clojure-csv> and manually 
write at the row level using the same harness, it works as expected with 
multiple threads.
