The error in #4087 was happening because of the use of csv.Dialect.*
which is just an empty base class. we need to make a choice on what is
our base dialect. I usually use excel so I put it as excel, if
maintainers have other preferences do let me know.
Open Questions:
1. What should be the default dialect?
2. Should we rework all tests to mock the open function rather than the
csv.DictReader?
3. Should we make a separate input for `dialect` like we have for
`encoding`?
