Using the skiplines_begin option

I find it surprising that we have skiplines_begin::Char. Would have expected to pass an integer for the number of initial lines to skip in the beginning of each file. Perhaps JuliaDB tries to find by itself the number of initial lines that are dissimilar in structure? If it not a documentation bug, it would be very helpful to get some more detailed information about how to use this option.

After spending too much time playing follow the parameters - this seems to be where it's defined: https://juliacomputing.com/TextParse.jl/latest/#Reading-CSV-1

skiplines_begin: skips specified number of lines at the beginning of the file

Though I could be wrong since there it seems to expect an integer.
