It does seem a bit odd that CSV limits the modes.

On the other hand, the desired result can be achieved by creating a
new file, copy existing data, add the new data, delete (or rename to be 
safe)
the original and rename the new file to the old file name.

I think supporting the append mode is easier all round...
