Do you have a specific use-case in mind?

My intuition is that comprehensions provide sufficient functionality such
that changing the csv module interface is unnecessary. Unlike JSON, CSV
files are easy to read in a streaming/iterator fashion, so the module
doesn't need to provide a way to intercept values during a holistic
encode/decode.
