sqlar and the sqlite3 tcl interface

I can't seem to find any information about using SQLite3 archives from the official Tcl SQLite3 interface documentation:

https://sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html

I would rather not exec to the sqlar CLI to create and manage these archives if possible.

You will need to load the [sqlar.c extension][1] and then use it to access or
create an SQLAR file.  The only documentation is in comments in the source
file, or some vague hints at
<https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html#_sql_used_to_implement_sqlite_archive_operations_>
