Signature Description
enum class  io_format : unsigned char  {

    csv = 1,     // DataFrame specific csv format
    csv2 = 2,    // Regular csv format (similar to Pandas)
    json = 3,
    binary = 5,  // DataFrame specific binary format

    // These only apply to write (output) function. They are somewhat resource
    // consuming operations, especially for large datasets.
    // NOTE: Currently, special characters for these types are not escaped. So
    //       you better not have special chars.
    //       pretty_prt doesn't have any special characters.
    //
    pretty_prt = 6,
    markdown = 7,
    latex = 8,
    html = 9,
};
This specifies the I/O format for reading and writing to/from files, streams, etc.
In CSV[2] formats, any empty line or any line starting with # will be ignored
