col.names argument not used in write.csv.raw

It looks to work well.
At least in my case http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35295320/the-fastest-way-to-write-csv-file-by-write-csv-raw-iotools-package.
It would be nice to add ability to define decimal sign like ' dec="," ' .

Looks like append and fileEncoding are also left out, though append seems to work. fileEncoding doesn't apply for me, but having col.names would be great. Currently doing the following as a workaround:

cat(noquote(paste0(paste0(names(df),collapse = ","),"\n")),file = "output.csv")
write.csv.raw(df,"output.csv",append=TRUE)

Note that "\n" is required to avoid starting the append on the first line of the file.
