I've sumitted a Pull Request for this feature: https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/pull/65
Let me know if you would prefer the PR in some other format, like a format-patch or something (or on bitbucket or wherever). As I mentioned in the PR, I included a PEP8 cleanup for ` dialects.sqlite.base.py` but I completely understand if you don't want that included. Let me know and I'll remove it.
