What do you have in mind?  I've benn adding some user defined functions
and am thinking of creating a repository for them.
All the so-called window functions from SQL:2003 (aka analytic functions):

Postgresql has also had them for a while. I'd love to see sqlite3 gain them, but I don't think they can be added efficiently as custom functions. The engine would need to become window-aware, which is probably enough work to delay its introduction until a consortium member decides they need it. That said, the VDBE architecture should make it significantly easier to implement inside sqlite3 than for most other engines.
