> In what quantifiable way will the incorporation of those functions make SQLite less *lite*? Code isn't free to write, nor to maintain, nor to compile, nor to store, nor to load from disk, nor to keep in RAM unused, nor to swap out to disk once the kernel realizes it is in fact unused. If `stddev()` were part of ANSI SQL or trivial to write correctly, I wouldn't be arguing against it, but it's neither.
