The latter - that you could return a promise of arrays, so it parallels the [""await me maybe"" pattern in Datasette](https://simonwillison.net/2020/Sep/2/await-me-maybe/), where you can return either a value, a callable or an awaitable.
> I have a hunch that what you're describing might be achievable without adding Promises to the API with something
Oops, I did a poor job explaining. Yes, this would work - but it requires me to continue to communicate the column names out of band (in order to fetch the facet data per-column before registering my plugin), vs being able to re-use them from the plugin implementation.
This isn't that big of a deal - it'd be a nice ergonomic improvement, but nowhere near as a big of an improvement as having an officially sanctioned way to add stuff to the column menus in the first place.
This could also be layered on in a future commit without breaking v1 users, too, so it's not at all urgent.

Ah, this is maybe the the key point. Since it's all hosted inside Datasette, Datasette can provide some arbitrary sugar to make it easier to work with.
My experience with async scripts in JS is that people sometimes don't understand the race conditions inherent to them. If they copy/paste from a tutorial, it does just work. But then they'll delete half the code, and by chance it still works on their machine/Datasette templates, and now someone's headed for an annoying debugging session -- maybe them, maybe someone else who tries to re-use their plugin.
Again, a fairly minor thing, though.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1651082214,

IMO, this is a bit of friction and it would be nice if it was more permissive. SQLite permits developers to use any data type when creating a table. For example, this is a perfectly cromulent sqlite session that creates a table with columns of type `baz` and `bar`:
```
sqlite> create table foo(column1 baz, column2 bar);
sqlite> .schema foo
CREATE TABLE foo(column1 baz, column2 bar);
sqlite> select * from pragma_table_info('foo');
cid name type notnull dflt_value pk
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
0 column1 baz 0 0
1 column2 bar 0 0
```
The idea is that the application developer will know what meaning to ascribe to those types. For example, I'm working on a plugin to Datasette. Dates are tricky to handle. If you have some existing rows, you can look at the values in them to know how a user is serializing the dates -- as an ISO 8601 string? An RFC 3339 string? With millisecond precision? With timezone offset? But if you don't yet have any rows, you have to guess. If the column is of type `TEXT`, you don't even know that it's meant to hold a date! In this case, my plugin will look to see if the column is of type `DATE` or `DATETIME`, and assume a certain representation when writing.
Perhaps there is an argument that sqlite-utils is trying to conform to SQLite's strict mode, and that is why it limits the choices. In strict mode, SQLite requires that the data type be one of `INT`, `INTEGER`, `REAL`, `TEXT`, `BLOB`, `ANY`. But that can't be the case -- sqlite-utils supports `FLOAT`, which is not one of the valid types in strict mode, and it rejects `INT`, `REAL` and `ANY`, which _are_ valid.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1572766460,
