Just because it is experimental should not exclude it from being in the standard apis and flagged as experimental and subject to change rather than only being part of a command line tool. Yes of course I can hack the code around and include it myself in the core SQLite dll, but why add functionality to the command line tool only rather than including it in the core dll (so that it can be used as standard in many more scenarios) …. Just my 2 cents…. I see it as a missed chance to only include it in the command line tool
