Research direction

Start by reading the linked crawshaw.io/sqlite issue and the repository description to understand the competing API goals. The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation entry point; completion would require a maintainer decision about the driver architecture and documenting the resulting direction.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I understand this library aims to be db/sql driver which is explicitly a non-goal for crawshaw.io/sqlite, although apparently there was a discussion about it: https://github.com/crawshaw/sqlite/issues/30.

Is this package going to be pure db/sql driver, or the driver will be something like a wrapper around a lower level package that's mimics SQLite's C interface?

Are there any major pitfalls in crawshaw.io/sqlite impeding Tailscale from using it or making a db/sql wrapper on top of it?
