Obvious question: How does this compare to cassava? Especially cassava's 
Data.CSV.Incremental module? I specifically ask because you mention that 
it's " It is lazier, faster, more space-efficient, and more flexible in 
its treatment of errors, than any other extant Haskell CSV library on 
Hackage" but there is no mention of cassava in the website.
