Which again, is an incredibly small number of users.

There are 37 uses of SQLITE_ERR because of SQLITE_OK.
The number of places we need to error check because of SQLITE_DONE is 4
The number of places we need to error check because of SQLITE_ROW is 2
(there are 4 total uses, 2 of which are checks for errors).

Modifying 37 instances of a macro to take an extra argument because of
6 lines of code could use it is not a good idea.

I simply disagree that a single macro is the right thing here. If
something needs slightly different semantics, it should get slightly
different semantics through a new name, if at all.

I don't believe they are used enough to even warrant a macro, the same
way the users of svn_error_t's that want to possibly clear the error
don't use SVN_ERR.
