Right now we have

If a row conversion function is not specified, field values are strings. For safety, there is no automatic conversion to numbers, dates, or other types. In some cases, JavaScript may coerce strings to numbers for you automatically (for example, using the + operator), but better is to specify a row conversion function.

I posit we should both link to autoType here, and also add an autoType example at the top. I'll file a PR tomorrow.
