Yes, fair enough. I prefer to use APSW rather than the SQLite binding
in the standard library; that seems nicer in some ways, providing more
flexibility in placeholders for parameter substitution
<https://rogerbinns.github.io/apsw/example.html#why-you-use-bindings-to-provide-values>.

I tend to fall out of the habit of using placeholder mechanisms,
because they don’t cope with more advanced cases.
