But to be honest, persistence & durability of data are the primary goal of a Storage API. I don't agree these factors should be hidden, unless the API guarantees every single operation is atomic & durable. Full details as to atomicity & durability need be available to callers (not just SQLite, but any application that wants to provide a reliable datastore) so that they can write information durably including across coordinated multi-file data structures.
