I had to add that to `sqlite-utils` eventually (initially it only supported creating by passing in an example document):

Bit weird that you can call that endpoint for a table that doesn't exist yet, but it fits the `sqlite-utils` way of creating tables which I've found very pleasant over the past few years.

So perhaps the API looks like this:

```
POST /<database>/<table>/-/insert
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer dstok_<rest-of-token>
{
    ""create_table"": true,
    ""rows"": [
        {
            ""column1"": ""value1"",
            ""column2"": ""value2""
        },
        {
            ""column1"": ""value3"",
            ""column2"": ""value4""
        }
    ]
}
```
The `create_table` option will cause the table to be created if it doesn't already exist.

That means I probably also need a `""pk"": ""...""` column for setting a primary key if the table is being created ... and maybe other options that I invent for this other feature too?
