+# Given one or more CSV files, concatenates them – assuming that the
+# first row of each file is a header, and therefore that it shouldn't be
+# repeated between files. It's quite dumb, and assumes that you're
+# trying to concatenate CSV files that make sense shoved one after the
+# other (i.e. they have the same columns in the same places.)
