Suppose I wanted to subvert an existing application that kept data in a SQLite database, I might not be able to modify the application itself, and might not have access to the database file. It would be really useful to be able to replace the app's SQLite library with my own, where I could secretly observe/modify the SQL calls made by the application. Of course my hacked SQLite library would have to be able to tell the difference between being called the app that adds interest to bank accounts (which should add interest to my special account), but the weekly reports app shouldn't see it. Using the process name would probably help there. I'm just saying.
