{snipped stuff}
While I cannot comment on which of 1 through 3 is true, given that the
VFS layer is adaptable, it would be "simple" (if so desired) to adapt
SQLite to do whatever filename transformation was required for a
particular system. You likely have thought of this (and hopefully I
didn't miss it in your post), but there is no reason why SQLite
couldn't support both Glib and Qt (and even other) file open semantics
even if the core team opted not to support them within the Unix VFS
code itself.
