The challenge is cleanly integrating it with the existing format options:

I'd like to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.

The most obvious solution is to add a `--format x` option. This is slightly confusing as `--fmt` already exists.

Or... `--fmt` could be enhanced to handle plugins too - and the existing set of formats (from the `tabulate` integration) could be refactored to use the new hook.

If I ever do release `sqlite-utils 4` I'm tempted to move that tabulate stuff into a plugin.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1818838294,Plugin hook for adding new output formats,

This is my goal, to have one plugin that handles input and output symmetrically. I'd like to be able to do something like this:

```sh
sqlite-utils insert data.db table file.geojson --format geojson
# ... explore and manipulate in Datasette
sqlite-utils query data.db ... --format geojson > output.geojson
```

This would work especially well with [datasette-query-files](https://github.com/eyeseast/datasette-query-files), since I already have the queries I need saved in standalone SQL files.

The current `--csv` (and `--tsv`) options apply to both. Haven't looked at how it's implemented. Or maybe it's one hook that returns a format for reading and for writing.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1818838294,Plugin hook for adding new output formats,
