Description

Is there any plan in integrating a vector search functionality like sqlite-vec into sqlite-utils? Or would you consider this to be scope creep?

I'm using sqlite-utils for a personal RAG on my notes and documents, it makes it super easy to store documents and their metadata in a reliable and portable format via python. I would love to be able to perform BM25 and vector similarity search on sqlite-utils, instead of figuring out how to integrate other tools into the system.
