I may be completely alone in this one, but is schema versioning as part
of the API really a necessary thing? I mean, it's convenient, but is it
necessary? Just trying to keep it simple.
In particular with the offline stuff, it is highly likely that code will
be running and interacting with the database in one window when a script
tries to update the schema, and we don't want authors to have to implement
some primitive locking facility of their own to prevent old versions
corrupting the data. I think it's relatively light-weight yet provides
something that could end up being really useful in certain cases.
