Unless it is possible in those cases to pass a pointer to `connection` object from sqlite to user code, the next best option, as I see it, would be to have a connection_view` class, much like we have `string` and `string_view`.

Klemens, since this has been brought up regularly, what do you think about introducing a connection_ref type that is explicitly non-owning? The use cases for a non-owning connection seem limited to modules and sqlite::context<...>::get_connection(). Passing an instance of a connection_ref seems reasonable.
