Description
Imagine the command `tt` or `tabletool` with which you can view (`cat users.csv | tt`) or edit (`tt ~/Downloads/data.csv`) tabular data from the command-line.
The functionality should be similar too `mate` from TextMate (for implementation, see [mate on GitHub](https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/e1e746f74f7ac3beeefcf61708acf1c2705163d1/Applications/mate/src/mate.cc)). For those unfamiliar with the command, [see this document](https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/ae470335a234e336c3d0337f065e26b29751e668/Applications/TextMate/resources/TextMate%20Help/mate_and_rmate.md).
This would fix one big problem on the command-line.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked TextMate mate implementation and mate_and_rmate documentation to understand the proposed command-line behavior. Define how tt or tabletool should view and edit CSV data, then verify that both stdin input and a file path work as described.
