I'm sure there is room for improvement.

D is pretty cool in this way. Once you get used to this kind of 
code, you're spoiled forever.

have a look at std.csv of phobos

```
foreach(record;
     file.byLine.joiner("\n").csvReader!(Tuple!(string, string, 
int)))
{
     writefln("%s works as a %s and earns $%d per year",
              record[0], record[1], record[2]);
}
```

Yeah, I actually wanted to have a closer look at std.csv. But in 
this case the input format may change (comments, keywords etc.), 
so I might need a customized parser anyway.
