Yes, absolutely.

No, I can't.  Before this package was announced I was already investigating
SQLite with a view to using it via a command line interface, but I certainly
don't have the skills needed to integrate it with ooRexx.

I'm not /demanding/ anything.  

But it seems to me that extending ooRexx's capabilities to include SQLite is
a BIG thing, bearing in mind just how much SQLite is used.  

That should mean that the package is attractive to people who may use it in
production situations... but that also means those users may have greater
expectations of the ease with which - say - apps using it can readily change
from one version of SQLite to another, or run using both versions in
parallel for (say) regression testing.  

If we want ooRexx's capabilities to be taken seriously then significant
packages like this should be designed to support proper use and testing of
apps that use it.

I'm not suggesting anyone should "support" an app written in ooRexx &
SQLite.  SQLIte support is provided elsewhere anyway.  

I am however suggesting that some thought should be given to the real life
requirements of users of such a package.

Yes, if one has accepted a mature but inflexible product.  But Mark has
asked for comments on the way the package is being evolved, so I provided
some.
