Yes, it's possible for me to rework it. However, it then would be 
available just to those on Emacs 29, which seems restrictive. 
Would it make sense to try to be compatible with both by wrapping 
the calls and just using whichever sqlite package is available? 
Has anyone done that before?

Anyway, it doesn't hurt for me to make a branch and just 
completely switch to the Emacs 29 sqlite to see if anything 
interesting comes up, so I'll do that soon.
