This allows a dtype parameter to be passed into the InputCsvData class, which is passed along to read_csv().
One reason this might be useful is if a column (like maybe GeoCode) has all numeric values but needs to be treated like a string. For example, if the value 0227 needs to be parsed exactly as 0227 rather than automatically converted to 227.0, as read_csv normally does for numeric columns.
