SQLite has a neat feature where if you give it a the file-name of ':memory:' the resulting table is in memory and not on disk. I thought it was a cool feature, but expanded it slightly: any name surrounded by colons results in an in-memory table.

I'm looking at the same type of situation with indices, but now I'm wondering if the :name: method is not pythonic and I should use a flag (in_memory=True) when memory storage instead of disk storage is desired.

Thoughts?
