Agreed, though the topic of timezone+DST support has come up a few times in the SQLite forums, and the SQLite team has never expressed much interest in it. Which I don't blame them, they would need to write it from scratch in C (for licensing reasons), and keep a timezone DB updates, which sounds like a nightmare.

I'm curious - do you find yourself constrained by the default macOS build often? Typically I `brew install sqlite` and use that CLI to get around extension loading issues (and for more modern SQLite versions). Same with Python's default MacOS build, which I avoid at all costs. Though very curious to hear more about times where that isn't a viable option

But I could understand that some people may not have that option (although I've yet to work at a place that locks macOS down that much, I've worked at places which locked down their Windows laptops down far more than that.)
