What is this for? The end-of-line is already configurable with the :end-of-line argument in both reading and writing.

CR is the line-end convention used by Excel on OSX for CSV exports, so it seems to be quite common in the wild
end-of-line does allow passing in CR, but that requires the caller to know a-priori the convention used in the file being read
Adding a layer around clojure-csv to pre-test the line-end seems excessive, especially when clojure-csv is doing that anyway

Perhaps, I've missed something about the intended use of end-of-line ... would be happy to understand.

Cheers.

That is exactly what I was about to code. Well, any chance it gets merged so we do not have to fork it ourself.
