I like the name [flatfile], it does imply something more generic than just
*Comma* separated values.

I am intrigued by the idea of merging this into an existing component but I
do not see which one would really fit. [io] comes close but I my mind
[flatfile] could evolve into a JDBC driver. When I think about it that way,
it does not fit into [io].

I do like the idea of merging certain things though, so I might bring up
merging [exec] into [lang] for example...
