After read, it hit me that because sqlite is a DB, "editions" as-is not work.

Because it not tied to the data but to the code.

Instead, what I think should be is that the PRAGMAs become "data" that is always checked in full with "if manually set" and then on next "open" THEY GET APPLIED.

That is.

(and in the command line when open interactively they show up).
