Hi Amanda. A couple of questions:

Is there a reason you're using a stored CSV rather than doing it from
a data frame directly? That would avoid having to read from a foreign
format, write to CSV and then read again in order to index it.

Also, do R users expect to use numeric indexing into their data, or
name indexing? Or would it be better to support both?
