For the first question, the answer is yes, this is exactly the purpose of
the constructor:
my_dataframe = dataframe('some_file.csv')
They are a few option, to try to work around quoting problems, and to seek
for some specific pattern in the first field

For the second question, the code is, let's hope it, useable. I have a SF
account, but I would need some help to go from the actual collections of
file to a package. In my opinion, this should belong to its own hierachy,
i.e. a package "dataframe".
