Bob Smith commented on SANDBOX-220:
-----------------------------------

It would be useful if the getLineNumber() method returned the current line in the output instead of the current line in the reader (since they would be different if there is a multi-line value).  Then you could use that method to tell which line the value is on. 

And if I'm looking at it correctly, the only special value it returns is null when it gets to the end of the file (which would be how you know that there are no more values).

> The nextValue method really doesn't seem very useful. There's no concept of end of line, so your csv file could be 1xn or nx1 and you wouldn't know.
