Make it easy to turn a CSV into an autocomplete web service

Trying to add the Gutenberg tile (#24), I realize for most interesting public datasets even if you just keep the minimum in CSV it's still going to be a huge download which means huge parse time as well (at least 3MB uncompressed min for this particular set).

As the saying goes "easier to move the compute to the data than the other way around".

I wonder if there's a simple way to turn any CSV into a web service? Perhaps using BurntSushi's awesome xsv library or some equivalent in Go.

Perhaps it could be built into XSV (if someone hasn't done this already) BurntSushi/xsv#195
