CSV column definition in 1st line?

Hi-
Several CSV feeds have the schema defined as the first row. Is there a way to automatically assign the columns to these values? Something conceptually like
select * from csv where url="http://example.com/file.csv" and columns in (select * from csv where url="http://example.com/file.csv" | limit 1)
thanks!

    That's a great idea but not something we have currently in production. There are a couple of issues with the csv handling that we are also looking to address.
