I don't expect the CSVs to be *that* big. But sure, if we're talking

in small portions.

Well, that's probably a question of personal preferences. I don't think 
it's necessary to load a complete library for every tiny task that comes 
around.

I mean: If I want to do some simple matrix calculations for example, I 
don't really need a full 100 MB algebra library.
