I don't expect the btree code's API to be of much use to virtual tables.
The user would code their own data structures as they see fit and expose
them to the SQLite engine, bypassing the btree code altogether.

No, exactly the opposite.
I want to expose my data structures and methods to the SQLite engine
to leverage its advanced ad-hoc querying abilities without the need
to commit my data to the database.

Sure, but they are not terribly useful for my purposes.

This technology is somewhat related to this discussion.
It's a way to query in-memory data structures in C# in an SQL-like
language subset:
