[sqlite] sqlite3_complete and comments

[Roger Binns]

I use sqlite3_complete in my shell in order to determine when a complete
statement has been input and can be run.  (Otherwise a continuation
"sqlite> " prompt is shown.)

If the line entered is:

   -- hello

Then the sqlite shell does not issue a continuation and "executes" the
text.  However sqlite3_complete does not say that line is complete so
the command line shell has extra logic to figure this out.  What is the
right way of considering line comment complete as the SQLite shell?

These lines get True from sqlite3_complete:

  select 3; --
  select 3 /* */ ;

And these get False:

  select 3
  --
  -- ;
