Given that any possible FFI interface is after the freeze and probably
will take months to get into a released Emacs, can you consider writing
this with a shell backend for now and use the C API opportunistically?
I don't know the details about SQLite's accessibility, but I believe it
can do at least some useful things non-interactively over STDOUT/STDIN.
