Hi,
When loading an Excel file in QGIS. The first line may be the name of 
the columns.
If all fields are string type, automatic recognition fails. see 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_xls.html.

In this case, the fields in QGIS are named field1, field2, ...
How to disable the automatic recognition (ie have the equivalent of 
OGR_XLS_HEADERS = FORCE)?

Would it be possible to add an option in the interface to specify 
whether or not the first line of field names?
