Sorry to highjack your thread Matthew, but I have what I consider a related use case. I'd like to embed the SQLite3 shell into another program, both a console program and a gui one, and because I'd like it to access in-memory databases, this cannot be done via forking and pipes. Basically I'd like the shell to have a "Virtual Console Interface" (VCI), to be able to reuse all the shell's goodness, in client apps, w/o having to hack and duplicate the shell's code. With some way to access in-memory databases in the same process as well (a special form of attach or an API?). I realize the shell is not meant and designed to be embedded right now, only the library is, but I'd really like it to be, basically. My own 2016 wishful-thinking feature request :). --DD
