One of Sqlite's strengths is its simplicity. Creeping featuritis plagues all
software development and what you are suggesting fits nicely with that
definition. The zero configuration principle is violated so that a very
small percentage of applications can do something as part of the database
module instead of leaving it to the operating system, running a cron task
at 3.00 am.
