> Would sqlite-utils add-geometry-column ... be a good CLI enhancement. for example?

Yes. And also `sqlite-utils create-spatial-index` would be great to have. My plan would be to add those once the Python API is settled.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",557842245,Helper methods for working with SpatiaLite,

Some version of this, from [geojson-to-sqlite](https://github.com/simonw/geojson-to-sqlite/blob/main/geojson_to_sqlite/utils.py#L124-L130):

```python
def init_spatialite(db, lib):
    db.conn.enable_load_extension(True)
    db.conn.load_extension(lib)
    # Initialize SpatiaLite if not yet initialized
    if ""spatial_ref_sys"" in db.table_names():
        return
    db.conn.execute(""select InitSpatialMetadata(1)"")
```

Also a function for creating a spatial index:

```python
db.conn.execute(""select CreateSpatialIndex(?, ?)"", [table, ""geometry""])
```

I don't know the nuances of updating a spatial index, or checking if one already exists. This could be a CLI method like:

```sh
sqlite-utils spatial-index spatial.db table-name column-name
```
