I don't see the need, the feature is available in another form

$ cat test.csv

"a";"b"
"c";"d"

$ sqlite3 test.db \
"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tbl1" \
".mode csv" \
".separator ;" \
".import test.csv tbl1" \
". mode column" \
".headers on" \
"SELECT * FROM tbl1"

a           b
----------  ----------
c           d
