Re: Introducing the rcsvw R library

Davide,

I incorporated your implementation report into the report here: https://w3c.github.io/csvw/tests/reports/. Note that there were some errors in the .ttl file you provided, which I updated here: rcsvw_test_report-2015-10-20.ttl <https://w3c.github.io/csvw/tests/reports/rcsvw_test_report-2015-10-20.ttl>

* The foaf: and doap: entries in your developer record were expressed as IRIs, not PNames (e.g.: '<foaf:name>  "Davide Ceolin”;' instead of ‘foaf:name "Davide Ceolin”;’).
* You were missing a doap:Project entry for the test subject, which I added based on information from GitHub.

Great to have another implementation!

However, given that I should have overcome the most annoying hurdles, I do optimistically hope to progress quickly from now on (both in terms of functionalities and of beautifying the code).
