https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/f7bdedff779606466b580d8528e5a44509291002/tests/fixtures.py#L301-L349

Interesting to note that it now has canned queries in it, which include this bit:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/f7bdedff779606466b580d8528e5a44509291002/tests/fixtures.py#L341-L342

It looks like metadata, but in this case it's configuration. That blur between metadata and configuration at the canned query level still feels a little bit odd to me, but I still think we're going in the right direction with it.

Also interesting, from that same file:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/f7bdedff779606466b580d8528e5a44509291002/tests/fixtures.py#L351-L399

There are a few things in that metadata block that are arguably configuration, not metadata - for example:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/f7bdedff779606466b580d8528e5a44509291002/tests/fixtures.py#L360

I think `extra_css_urls` is definitely configuration, not metadata.

Most of that stuff is arguably configuration too, with the exception of the `roadside_attractions.columns` bit which is metadata about those columns.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1901768721,
