With your brain excluded, who is "we"? The beauty of SQLite is that SQL was distilled to the smallest and most reproducible on many platforms set. Over time, I see how developers expand functionality to make it more convenient while maintaining reproducibility across platforms. Time, date, math operations are extremely hard to make reproducible. SQLite is small in SQL already: It has LEFT JOIN and does not have RIGHT JOIN. Why? Because RIGHT can be made out of LEFT by swapping order of tables. That is how small it is. The new functionality should be more substantial than swapping the order of tables or adding extra SQL line of code for date manipulation.
More over, SQLIte already has extension mechanism and many libraries have been written: https://www.sqlite.org/contrib/ The "we" can add to it date manipulation routines and many other. SQLite is a beauty. Learn to see it!

The normal SQLite snapshots (just like it's working right now) 2. The normal SQlite snapshots plus a series of libraries and functions that can easily be compiled with the original light SQLite. I know this sounds simple, but, with all the brain in this group, excluding mine, I think we can manage to have that wonderful tool. ;-) My thinking out-loud.
