If a header is specified, is it possible to iterate over the content as
an associative array, something like this:

string str = "a,b,c\nHello,65,63.63\nWorld,123,3673.562";
auto records = csvText(str, ["b"]);

foreach (header, value ; records) {}

Or accessing a value by header:

foreach (record ; records)
{
      auto value = record["a"];
      auto val = record.b; // perhaps using opDispatch as well
}

If I implemented it this way then the entire record would be read in when a 
header exists.

auto records = csvText!(string[string])(str, ["b"]);

Would that be acceptable?

That would be acceptable to me, don't know what how other would see it.
