I am British but currently happen to live in the US, and have lived in every hemisphere whether you cut the earth horizontally or vertically. My high school had students of 74 different nationalities. In my career, every single piece of software I have worked on had to work at a *minimum* in the UK, USA (US English is different than UK English), Europe (at least France & Germany, often Italy) as well as in Japanese. Those various pieces of software have run on embedded environments, mini-computers, DOS, various flavours of Windows and a really wide selection of Unix systems. My repeated point throughout this is that I have no problem with taking shortcuts to get better performance/conserve memory but that you should be aware of how wrong the answers are. And if proposing it as core SQLite functionality then it really isn't fair unless the limitations are well documented since other programmers using it won't be able to tell how good the results are across all the different locales. As an analogy I could come up with something that speeds up SQLite floating point significantly but reduces accuracy of answers. But unless I documented how much the accuracy was reduced it would not be a good idea for other developers to use it.
