[sqlite] Shell Feature Request: spaces before dot commands

[nomad]

[SQLite version 3.22.0 2017-11-27 17:56:14]

The SQLite shell only recognizes .dot commands without leading spaces.
For clarity I like to sometimes indent a block of SQL and change
settings or run dot commands within a transaction, e.g.:

    BEGIN
        .mode csv
        .import ...
    COMMIT;

Unfortunately at present the above are parsed as SQL statements and
don't fail until the next ";".

I would like to request a change to the parsing behaviour to recognize 
"<spaces>.command" the same as ".command".

Thanks,
Mark
