According to M. Metz the module v.in.ascii can already automatically
detect the column type during import. It would be nice to have also
the option to read/import the column names from the import files from line
X,
e.g. names=1 to read column names from line 1.

This requires to do name column names "laundery" in order to avoid
incompatible
names (e.g. white space, strange chars etc).

Perhaps the "cnames=" polishing code from v.in.ogr could be of use.
