In general we have to think twice before adding new dependencies to
Guix.  To parse CSV files, I think you can probably do using the string
utilities already available in Guile; that would avoid adding a new
dependency.

WDYT?

(That said I agree that Dave’s parser combinators are nice, perhaps time
to add a package for them?  :-))

Thanks,
