How do you use these in practice? Both Python and Go don’t make it easy to link a different variation of SQLite with one of these plugins compiled in. How do you make it work?

I don't think SqliteMultipleCiphers can be built into a runtime loadable extension (and the Turso thing is just a copy of it).

I'm confident that a scheme based on tweakable block cyphers (like Adiantum or AES XTS) could be made into decent runtime loadable extension.

I implemented such schemes for my Go driver, but Go code is not really ideal to make a runtime loadable extension of (it'd have to be ported to C/Rust/zig).
