;reading line by line is stupid because it breaks newline escaping etc.
;Luckily, DerGuteMoritz came up with the following:
(port-map (o csv-record->list car parse) (lambda () (read-line port)))

; Apparently, I misunderstood him: "ok anyway, your newline-escaping-unaware code can be reduced to one line!"
; so the right way to do it is reading the entire port until eof and then using that as input for
; parse and then csv-record->list.
