While I think having a single type is easier, the regularity does show that I hold a minority position. It seems to be rather confusing and worrying to almost everyone else.
I'll add a `connection_ref` type
if it serves as a counter datapoint, as someone with experience using SQLite in a C++ application, IMO I think introducing another type is also not the best option here. How is a connection_ref different from a reference or a pointer to connection? I can’t help but to feel this is quite unusual, and that it will impose a certain cognitive cost to understand code that otherwise could be simpler for little return. Claudio
