This is a short addition to the README which shows how to use CHCSVParser to read data exported from Microsoft Excel, with correct handling of text encoding issues.
I think this is worth mentioning since it's a common use case, and the obvious thing to do (use Excel's Save As ".csv") produces subtle problems with text encodings.
