Given this test program:

(ns test-csv
  (:gen-class)
  (:use clojure.contrib.command-line)
  (:use clojure-csv.core))

(defn process-file
  "Process csv file and prints first item in every row"
  [file-name]
  (let [data (slurp file-name)
        rows (parse-csv data)]
    (dorun (map #(println (first %)) rows))))

(defn -main [& args]
  (with-command-line args
    "Get csv file name"
    [[file-name ".csv file name" 1]]
    (println "file-name:", file-name)
    (if file-name
        (process-file "resultset.csv")
        (process-file file-name))))

is it reasonable to write a recursive function that takes the lazy
sequence -- rows -- (returned from clojure-csv) and column numbers and
recurses until the appropriate column number is reached, or is it
better to build up a long series of expressions that would pull the
columns out?

For example, I believe I can pull out the second column by specifying
(first (next rows)), but it would look pretty awful to create a long
enough expression to get the 6th column in.
