Dear SQLite maintainers,

As outlined in this forum post, the gz* functions in zlib can be used to read gzip-compressed text, while still being able to read uncompressed text, and that with minimal modifications in the code.

May you please consider using these gz* functions in the .import shell command, and in the csv extension?

Thanks in advance, Víctor

P.S.: I am not attaching a patch as I know you rather work your own code :-)
