One of the features I miss most in Phobos is support for SQLite. Several people have written bindings and wrappers and haven't gotten much attention. (For example: https://github.com/bayun/SQLite3-D ).

IMHO, we should do the following:

1. Put SQLite bindings and the C code (which is public domain) in etc.c, just like zlib now. Put it in the docs, etc. to make sure people know it's there. This will lower the barrier to entry for people who want to make wrappers. These can probably be included without any review, since they're a pile of well-tested C code and a fairly mechanical translation of a header file.

2. Encourage people to make wrappers **after** the C code and bindings are already "just there", ready to be used. With the barrier to entry lowered, we might actually get someone who's serious enough about it to take it through the whole review process, etc., rather than just dumping a quick n' dirty post to the forum and then forgetting about it.
