There was no vulnerability in Fossil.  The existing authorizer functionality
was sufficient as far as we are aware.  The new sqlite3_stmt_readonly()
interface was added by request of an SQLite Consortium member for reasons
totally unrelated to Fossil.  But once added, I decided to also use the new
interface in Fossil, just as an extra line of defense against malicious SQL
in the user-entered ticket query mechanism, and also as an additional test
of the new interface in a real application.
