-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is going to be difficult to implement. CSV files are read in a 
streaming fashion, with possibly parallel processing of file blocks. So, say 
the user asks to skip 10 rows at the footer, but the last block being read only 
has 5 rows, how do we handle that situation?

cc [~westonpace] for ideas.
