The problem is that people would create a file in the new version of SQLite which could handle 64 bits, and expect to be able to open it in old versions of SQLite which would not understand it. It would seem that the move from SQLite3 to SQLite4 would be a good time to make all file pointers 64 bits. But I don't know enough about the internal workings of SQLite4 to know for sure.
