would be useful (mainly for out-of-core) to be able to specify the start and stop rows and quickly skip to them to get a specific chunk out of a file.

these rows refer to data rows / alternately this could just return the nth chunk (but skip parsing the n-1 chunks for efficiency)

read_csv has a skiprows and nrows which almost does this. The problem is that I think header is counted from after the skiprows row.

Believe this can be handled as noted above. If that's missing the point please reopen
