** Make sure we can call this stuff from C++.

** These two functions (collectively known as
** "function creation routines") are used to add SQL functions or aggregates
** or to redefine the behavior of existing SQL functions or aggregates.  The
** difference only between the two is that the second parameter, the
** name of the (scalar) function or aggregate, is encoded in UTF-8 for
** sqlite3_create_function() and UTF-16 for sqlite3_create_function16().

** The first argument is the [database connection] that holds the
** SQL function or aggregate is to be added or redefined. If a single
** program uses more than one database handle internally, then SQL
** functions or aggregates must be added individually to each database

** The second parameter is the name of the SQL function to be created

** The length of the name is limited to 255 bytes, exclusive of the

** characters.  Any attempt to create a function with a longer name
** will result in an SQLITE_ERROR error.
