interesting. As far as _I_ know, the first implementation of varint!


No, this idea has been around for a long time. It was used for ISDN addressing for example. I'm sure it is probably in Knuth somewhere. It is still a very good idea though.


is it reasonable to assume that the legacy_file_format is incompatible
with the postmodern_file_format? And, which version+ of SQLite has
this new format capability?


Yes it is incompatible. It was originally introduced in version 3.3.0 and was set as the default format for new databases until version 3.3.7 where the legacy format became the default again so that database file were backwards compatible by default. All versions since 3.3.0 can handle both formats.
