 The default optional Cargo features include implementations of traits for getting Julids into and
 out of SQLite with [SQLx](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx), and for generally
 serializing/deserializing with [Serde](https://serde.rs/), via the `sqlx` and `serde` features,

 Something to note: don't enable the `plugin` feature in your Cargo.toml if you're using this crate
 inside your Rust application, especially if you're *also* loading it as an extension in SQLite in
