csvstack to support --skip-lines
First , great library.

It was very handy in searching big csv files , i just needed to search a complete folder full of csv that each file has a header that should be ignored by using latest version 1.0.2 --skip-lines it was possible but file by file . i tried using csvstack but it did not recognise the parameter --skip-lines
