Parse CSV - reference column names instead of column numbers

Unfortunately the Parse CSV module doesn't use the CSV headers even if you activate the option ‘CSV contains headers’.

ability of the CSV module to work from headers instead of column numbers
Mark Salisbury
Currently, if the input of a CSV changes due to external factors (e.g. order of columns changes or a column is removed) the CSV module cannot cope with this change well because it addresses its columns by col number.
- This suggestions it to (maybe optionally) have the CSV columns addressed by header instead of column number. That way those external changes make no difference to the operation of the scenario.
In addition, the CSV module has a tickbox for 'my data contains headers' which seems to be interpreted as 'skip row 1' when we WANT it to mean 'row 1 has headers so use them as labels for my data columns'.
- There exists a field for headers but it does not accept input from scenarios, so please change that so we can generate header row data and supply it. I accept that this might not work WITH (1).
