Added support for CSV formatting #28

This feature is handy if you want to export the table data and process it in excel or something like that.

Are you sure this is a good idea. CSVs can be complicated and with tools like CsvHelper this feature may cause more problems than its worth.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Hm. Yea. I get your point. Actually I could have gone straight to generating the CSV instead of doing it via ConsoleTables.

It was just easy when moving from ocular inspection of data to an exportable format (which was my case earlier today), by simply changing the output type.

I see why it's not really in the scope of ConsoleTables 👍

Thank you, I appreciate the effort anyways. If you feel like anything could be better please feel free to start a dialogue.
