Interesting.  Do you have any idea how API should be?

# rambling
  reader = CSV::Reader.create(STDIN)
  reader.set_initial_row_as_a_column_header = true # ???
  reader.each do |row|
    p row[:name], row[:age]
  end
  reader.close

  CSV.parse_with_initial_row_as_a_column_header(STDIN) do |row|
    ...
  end

  CSV.parse_with_specified_colname(STDIN, [:name, :dept, :age]) do |row|
    p row[:name], row[:age]
  end

  ...
