Description

As far as I can see sqlite-utils doesn't support AUTOINCREMENT keyword.

I would like to do something like this:

CREATE TABLE mytable(
       id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
       ........
);

It would be nice to have this for table definition and for inserts without IDs.

Also see #602

Best Regards
