I am in favor of doing this. In my experience SQLite has been fast and
reliable, plus it can be controlled with SQL which is a well-known
language. It would be nice if it was possible to serialize/deserialize
hashtables and lists directly from a SQLite table.
It may seem like "just another library" but I'm tired of the 30 ways in
Emacs to serialize data and then load it back (all of them
inefficient and incompatible with each other). Gnus, at least, would
benefit significantly from this.
I wouldn't make it an external dependency, though. Bring it into Emacs
itself and update the C source when an update is released.
