Description

Add an ability for sql.js to apply custom javascript function in the SQL.

Would it be cool to see this in sql.js

CREATE TABLE people_location(
     person_id int,
     latitude double,
     longitude double,
);

-- see people within 5 KM radius
SELECT * FROM people_location WHERE  compute_distance(latitude, longitude, my_lat, my_long) <= 5;
    function compute_distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2){
         var φ1 = lat1.toRadians(), φ2 = lat2.toRadians(), Δλ = (lon2-lon1).toRadians(), R = 6371; // gives d in km
         var d = Math.acos( Math.sin(φ1)*Math.sin(φ2) + Math.cos(φ1)*Math.cos(φ2) * Math.cos(Δλ) ) * R;
        return d;
}

Research direction

Start by locating how sql.js exposes SQLite functionality to JavaScript, then establish the intended registration and invocation behavior for custom SQL functions. Done means a JavaScript function can be registered, called from SQL, and covered by a focused test.
