Flatfile seems to have much wider scope, and the API is
correspondingly much more involved.

I'm not sure I see how CSV fits in.

But if CSV *is* merged in, I would hope the API would remain simple.

+1, [csv] is simple and focused, I'd stick to it and ensure we get quickly to a release.

Now I realize that the writer package of [csv] supports fixed width files with no delimiters, which clearly overlaps with [flatfile]. For this reason I think it deserves to be removed from [csv].

I suggest to move in small steps:

1. let's push [csv] to a release, it could be done rather quickly
2. keep on refining [flatfile] and release it independently
3. eventually merge the two projects if it seems appropriate

I fear that merging now could be discouraging and eventually delay much longer a release. [flatfile] is already 3 years old and [csv] 6 years old.
