/**
 * DuckDB BCF/VCF Reader Extension
 * 
 * A properly-typed VCF/BCF reader for DuckDB that matches the type system
 * of the nanoarrow vcf_arrow_stream implementation.
 * 
 * Features:
 *   - VCF spec-compliant type validation with warnings
 *   - Proper DuckDB types: INT32, INT64, FLOAT, DOUBLE, VARCHAR, LIST, STRUCT
 *   - Boolean support for FLAG fields
 *   - Nullable fields with validity tracking
 *   - Parallel scan support for indexed files (CSI/TBI)
 *   - Region filtering
 *   - Projection pushdown
 *
 * Usage:
 *   LOAD 'bcf_reader.duckdb_extension';
 *   SELECT * FROM bcf_read('path/to/file.vcf.gz');
 *   SELECT * FROM bcf_read('path/to/file.bcf', region := 'chr1:1000-2000');
 *
 * Build:
 *   make (uses package htslib from RBCFTools)
