Hmm. I'll take a stab at defining the new functionality in the
`@capabilitydescription` in both `CSVReader` and `CSVRecordSetWriter`.
I think It's worth documenting, and explaining in `CSVReader` that columns
can be renamed by using "Explicit Columns". As well as explaining in
`CSVRecordSetWriter` that "Explicit Columns" doesn't rename columns, but does
allow for re-ordering, while reminding users that the column names have been
defined by whatever RecordReader is being used.
