I guess I jumped right past my mental first paragraph, which makes it
seem like I hardly read your email, oops :)

Yes, it would be cool to have a DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::SQLT that
uses SQLT to parse DDL and feed it to the rest of the
DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base infrastructure.  Everything else I
said was kinda on another track wrt to supporting DBD::CSV, etc.
