## Function for creating and initializing a CSVFile for publishing results

### Description

A CSVFile is a pointer to a comma separated value file on the file system. Publishing to a CSVFile overwrites the current contents of the given CSVFile.

### Usage

    CSVFile(shortName, title = "", reportDirectory = ".")

### Arguments

`shortName` | A character string giving a short title for the report. Used as the base of the filename.
`reportDirectory` | A character string giving the location of the report.
`title` | A character string giving a longer description of the report.

### Value

An object of class `CSVFile`, which will represents a file to be written to. There are no open filehandles, and calling publish multiple times will result in the file being overwritten.
