That is exactly the problem: such limits are app-specific logic, and that
3rd-party db manager cannot know about app-specific logic. Forcing this
pragma to always apply would in fact hinder some cases, e.g. creating a
backup copy of a table using CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... could violate
the space constraint.
