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.
A connection& or connection* allows moving a connection because it has a mutable reference. Furthermore a connection_ref can point to a sqlite3* without the need for a connection object at all.
