Thanks Ryan, and apologies for singling your comment out from the many that suggested a roll-your-own CLI. That last statement pretty much says it all IMHO but I would go even further. For many it will not even be choice in future times. There will always be those who can make their own arrangements and hedge around the inevitable but for most it will be 64bit or nothing one day. An above post regarding Android 32 bit platform support is one indication that the choices will not last for much longer. I should add that it is not entirely high on my personal wish list (64bit CLI) because I do take the valid points made earlier that the current CLI works just fine in a 32 bit environment.
All of that being said, I have ultimate faith in the core SQLite development team to make the right call about when it would be appropriate to go the 64 bit path. There would be much to consider and it should be considered carefully as always, I'm in no rush but apparently some others have more pressing needs. Just as I am not in a rush, I also have no problem with the OP's request being implemented. I'm with Ryan on the warm and cuddly approach, we might as well.
