Brian commented on CSV-127:
---------------------------

I would still like the option of skipping lines of all white space.  The 
reporting tool we use generates CSV files with a block of comments, followed by 
a line with a bunch of white space (tabs), followed by the header.  I can't 
parse this automatically with this library at present - I have to manually go 
in and remove that white space line from each file.  

> Ignore Empty Lines doesn't ignore empty first line

> If parsing a file which has an empty first line and then a header row the 
> empty first line is treated as the header row.
> Parser created like

> CSVFormat.DEFAULT.withHeader().withIgnoreSurroundingSpaces(true));
> {code}
