    --load-extension=spatialite

Where `spatialite` is a special shortcut value that triggers a search for that module in known locations.

Users could still load a module in a file called `spatialite` in the current directory using:

    --load-extension=./spatialite

In fact, `--load-extension=spatialite` could handle that case too by always checking for a file called `spatialite` before attempting to search for it in known locations.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",683812642,

Relevant code: https://github.com/simonw/shapefile-to-sqlite/blob/e754d0747ca2facf9a7433e2d5d15a6a37a9cf6e/shapefile_to_sqlite/utils.py#L112-L126

```python
def init_spatialite(db, lib):
    db.conn.enable_load_extension(True)
    db.conn.load_extension(lib)
    # Initialize SpatiaLite if not yet initialized
    if ""spatial_ref_sys"" in db.table_names():
        return
    db.conn.execute(""select InitSpatialMetadata(1)"")


def ensure_table_has_geometry(db, table, table_srid):
    if ""geometry"" not in db[table].columns_dict:
        db.conn.execute(
            ""SELECT AddGeometryColumn(?, 'geometry', ?, 'GEOMETRY', 2);"",
            [table, table_srid],
        )
```
Not sure if I should add a utility function or CLI command for that `ensure_table_has_geometry` bit.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",683812642,
