description
Rainbow CSV has 2 main features:

* Highlights csv columns in different rainbow colors.
* Provides SELECT and UPDATE queries in RBQL: SQL-like transprogramming query language.

There are 2 ways to enable csv columns highlighting:
* CSV autodetection based on file content. File extension doesn't have to be .csv or .tsv
* Manual CSV delimiter selection with :RainbowDelim command (So you can use rainbow_csv for non-table files, e.g. to highlight function arguments in different colors)

To run an RBQL query either press F5 or enter the query in vim command line e.g. :Select a1, a2
