I have been asked to output an 'Excel'-friendly report for someone, which
means dumping a "CSV" (Comma Separated Values) file.

Setting ".separator ',' " gets me part of the way.  Unfortunately, I need to
manually quote strings using something like this:

SELECT '"' || name || '"', '"' || address || '"', zipcode
FROM clients;

It would be mighty handy if sqlite had a '.mode csv' option which would
auto-quote strings and not quote numbers, and put commas between them.  This
is an extremely common format...

Perhaps ".mode" is not the correct place to do this, but something similar
would be great.

Thanks!
