[Suggestion]Setting an index column

CSV files get used as flat database files fairly often. having the ability so set a specific column to be used as the "index" might be something of interest. More often then not this index column is a unique record identifier and will increment it's self as rows are added, no matter where the row is added in the data set. some adjustments for controlling the incrementing behavior might be something that can get added along with this feature.

@kdschlosser Thanks for the suggestion.

This is indeed a common use case for CSV files. However, the plugin is focusing on editing CSV formatted text, independent of the meaning of the data. Contributions are welcome though.
