Our data product is delivered in CSV format. Even though I create user documentation mainly using csvkit, grep and sed, I would love to convert all those solutions to AWK. Sometimes AWK is more readable than sed and csvkit requires installation.

It will be nice to have a awk cookbook for CSV. In terms of CSV maniupulation and querying there is only a limited number of operations and I think there is potential to standardize those operation using AWK.
