What if both are loaded?

I don't think there is a way currently to determine if SQLite() has
yet been called.  However, if RSQLite is not loaded, it certainly has
not been called ;-)  So perhaps you can get by with checking whether
the package is loaded?

Such a feature could be added, but I'm not convinced it would actually
be useful for anything.
