This is why, despite the confusion it sometimes causes, we all prefer
duck typing to static typing. The csv.DictReader wants a "file-like
object", not necessarily a file - and in this case, all it asks is an
iterable of lines, so a simple generator will work. This is true of
MANY, if not all, places that a file is used.
