[New-bugs-announce] [issue1818] Add named tuple reader to CSV module

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

Here's a proof-of-concept patch.  If approved, will change from
generator form to match the other readers and will add a test suite.

The idea corresponds to what is currently done by the dict reader but
returns a space and time efficient named tuple instead of a dict.  Field
order is preserved and named attribute access is supported.

A writer is not needed because named tuples can be feed into the
existing writer just like regular tuples.
