//  This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
//  that contains this content:
//  
//  year,color,country,food
//  2001,red,France,cheese
//  2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

CkoCsv *csv = [[CkoCsv alloc] init];

//  Indicate that the 1st row
//  should be treated as column names:
csv.HasColumnNames = YES;
