1178546862,I_kwDOCGYnMM5GPzKu,420,Document how to use a `--convert` function that runs initialization code first,770231,closed,0,,,12,2022-03-23T19:07:36Z,2022-08-28T11:34:37Z,2022-03-25T20:07:33Z,NONE,,"When I have an insert command with transform like this:

```
cat items.json | jq '.data' | sqlite-utils insert listings.db listings - --convert '
d = enchant.Dict(""en_US"")
row[""is_dictionary_word""] = d.check(row[""name""])
'  --import=enchant --ignore
```

I noticed as the number of rows increases the operation becomes quite slow, likely due to the creation of the `d = enchant.Dict(""en_US"")` object for each row. Is there a way to share that instance `d` between transform function calls, like a shared context?",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/420/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
