Description

Hey :)

When joining two CSV on a key with the same name, e.g. name, then this module creates two keys name and name-1. Since they are both the same, I think dropping name-1 would be appropriate in this case.

Also maybe the API could just allow specifying one name, like:

csv-join <source>  <target> <column>

Best,
Finn

Research direction

Start at the csv-join command's join-key handling and argument parsing; no source files or tests are named in the issue. Reproduce joining two CSVs on a same-named key such as name, then determine whether completion means removing the duplicate name-1 key, adding the shorter command form, or both.
