Haha well it would still be a plugin so at least I can load it into Drizzle :) 
And actually some of the non-SQL interfaces I have heard about in the past (but 
haven't kept up with, to be fair), sounded pretty hot. Although I'm still a SQL 
bawler at heart. Either way, if CSV exporting were a plugin, I'd be totally ok 
with that.
