Fastercsv: row["header1"] syntax doesn't work, why?

$ cat data.csv
name number
me 12
you 20

require 'rubygems'
require 'fastercsv'

FasterCSV.foreach("data.csv", :headers =>true, :col_sep =>'\t') do |row|
  puts row
  puts row['name']
  puts row['number']
  puts row.class
end

--output:--
me 12
nil
nil
FasterCSV::Row
you 20
nil
nil
FasterCSV::Row

I've sifted through the docs, and I can't find any indication why the
row['name'] syntax won't work.

Arrrgh. vim was turning my tabs into spaces, so the '\t' separator
wasn't in the data.csv file. This works:

$ cat data.csv
name,number
me,12
you,20

FasterCSV.foreach("data.csv", :headers =>true) do |row|
  puts row
  puts row['name']
  puts row['number']
  puts row.class
end

me,12
