Description
I think R pins has broader automatically guessing types (e.g. will default to RDS). Let's automatically store pandas DataFrames as CSV for now, so that the docs don't need to constantly specify type="csv".
TODO: discuss how people feel about R pins automatic type guessing just to double check

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating pandas DataFrame storage and the existing explicit type="csv" path, then review the open question about automatic type guessing. Done means DataFrames are stored as CSV by default and the documentation no longer needs to specify the type.
