Dear upstream authors,

Many thanks for this very convenient tool.

Would it please be possible to extend is so that "-" ban be specified
both as the name of the input file (meaning to read the .xlsx file
from standard input) and as the name of the output file, meaning that
the CSV file is written to stdout?

That way the program could be used in a pipe, which would be very
convenient. Of course that requires to make sure that all the
other messages the program could possibly produce are written to stderr.

Many thanks in advance!

Sébastien.
