Then you could do:
```python
# This is with an optional argument, which if omitted runs find_spatialite() for you:
db.init_spatialite()
# Instead of:
init_spatialite(db, find_spatialite())
```
Likewise, the `add_geometry_column` and `create_spatial_index` methods could live on `Table`:
```python
# Instead of this:
add_geometry_column(db[""locations""], ""POINT"", ""geometry"")
create_spatial_index(db[""locations""], ""geometry"")
# Could have this:
db[""locations""].add_geometry_column(""POINT"")
db[""locations""].create_spatial_index(""geometry"")
```
On the one hand, this is much more consistent with the existing `sqlite-utils` Python API.
But on the other hand... this is mixing SpatiaLite functionality directly into the core classes. Is that a good idea, seeing as SpatiaLite is both an optional extension (which can be tricky to install) AND something that has a very different release cadence and quality-of-documentation from SQLite itself?
There's a third option: the SpatiaLite could exist on subclasses of `Database` and `Table` - so the above examples would look something like this:
```python
from sqlite_utils.gis import SpatiaLiteDatabase
db = SpatiaLiteDatabase(""geo.db"")
db.init_spatialite()
db[""locations""].add_geometry_column(""POINT"")
db[""locations""].create_spatial_index(""geometry"")
```
On the one hand, this would keep the SpatiaLite-specific stuff out of the core Database/Table classes. But it feels a bit untidy to me, especially since it raises the spectre of someone who was already subclassing Database for some reason now needing to instead subclass `SpatiaLiteDatabase` (not too keen on that capitalization) - or even (horror) trying to dabble with multiple inheritance, which can only lead to pain.

This is fixed now. I had to take out the type annotations for `Database` and `Table` to avoid a circular import, but that's fine and may be moot if these become class methods.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1102899312,

Yeah that's too clever. You know what? I'm pretty confident we are both massively over-thinking this. We should put the methods on `Database` and `Table`!
