To support https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-107, it would make life easy to depend on Commons IO to use BOMInputStream and the classes it depends on instead of copying them to [csv].
I think we need to deal with BOMs in [csv] because casual users may not recognize the problem and using a BOMInputStream or other workaround is not trivial to find. First recognizing that the stream has a thing called a BOM and secondly finding a clean way to deal with said BOM. In addition, there are different kinds of BOMs with different sizes to deal with. I am fine with adding this dependency. Other Commons component depend on others. We can then also talk about whether ExtendedBufferedReader is generic enough to move to [io].
