That would be nice. It would have to be automatically generated from the
syntax descriptions we already have, otherwise it'd be unmaintainable.
Also, the text representation would have to still be there in an alt tag
- I note that the the sqlite docs don't have that.

Any idea how those sqlite images are generated?
