  # :spyglasses     named scopes in your model that will refine the rows in the CSV according to conditions of the spyglasses,

  # :booty          booty (columns/methods) on your model that you want printed in the CSV, also used to create the figurehead (CSV header)
  # :chart          array of directory names (relative to rails root if using rails) which will be the filepath where you want to hide your loot
  # :wagonner       name of document where you will give detailed descriptions of the loot
  # :aft            filename extention ('.csv')
  # :shrouds        CSV column separator, default is ','. For tsv, tab-delimited, "\t"
  # :chronometer    keeps track of when you hunt for treasure, can be false if you don't want to keep track.
  # :gibbet         filename spacer after the date, and before the iterative counter/timestamp.  MuST contain a '.'
  # :swab           can be :counter, :timestamp, or :none
  #   :counter - default, each successive run will create a new file using a counter
  #   :timestamp - each successive run will create a new file using a HHMMSS time stamp
  #   :none - no iterative file naming convention, just use waggoner, aft and gibbet 
  # :mop            can be :clean or :dirty (:overwrite or :append) (only has an effect if :swab is :none) since overwriting is irrelevant for a new file
  #   :clean - do not use :counter or :timestamp, and instead overwrite the file
  #   :dirty - do not use :counter, or :timestamp, or :overwrite.  Just keep adding on.
  # :bury_treasure  should we store the csv data as it is collected in an array in Ruby form for later use (true), or just write the CSV (false)?
  # :blackjack      Specify how you want your CSV header
  #   {:join => '-'}    joins the method names called to get hte data for that column with '_' underscores.

  #   :swag       => column index in CSV (0th, 1st, 2nd, etc. column?)
  #                  (swag OR spyglasses can be specified, but code defers to swag if provided)
  #   :spyglasses => is the column to load ("find_by_#{booty}") the ARrr object for each row on the first CSV
  #                  (swag OR spyglasses can be specified, but code defers to swag if provided)
  #   :waggoner   => where the capn's loot was stashed (filename)
  #   :chart      => array of directory names where capn's waggoner is located
  #   :astrolabe  => true (file is opened at top of file in read only mode when true)
  # The first_mate hash is:
  #   :grub       => is the class on which to make booty [method] calls, or 
  #                    is a method (as a string) we call to get from the object loaded by capn,
  #                    to the object on which we'll make the first_mate booty [method] calls, or nil, if same object
  #   :swag       => is the method to call on first CSV row's object to find second CSV row's object (if grub is a class)
  #   :spyglasses => is the column to load ("find_by_#{booty}") the ARrr object for each row on the second CSV (if grub is a class)
  #   :booty      => is the methods to call on the ARrr object for each row on the second CSV
