BUG: read_csv doesn't respect dtype argument for index_col

[kylebarron]

Code Sample

import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
data = '"zip1","zip2","mi_to_zcta5"\n'
data += '"00601","00631",5.43229145138995\n'
data += '"00601","00641",6.19718605765618'

df1 = pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), header=0, dtype={'zip1': str, 'zip2': str})
df1.zip1.dtype.name
# Object

df2 = pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), header=0, index_col='zip1', dtype={'zip1': str, 'zip2': str})
df2.index.dtype.name
# int64

Problem description

The column being read as the index should respect the dtype provided in the dtype argument when the name provided with index_col is a key in the dtype dict.

I couldn't find another issue with this specific problem, but please correct me if there is.

Expected Output

df1 = pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), header=0, dtype={'zip1': str, 'zip2': str})
df1.set_index('zip1').index.dtype.name
# Object

Output of pd.show_versions()
