Well, it is a relational database for working with structured data and using SQL
in desktop applications. You don't need to persist sqlite db to file
at all. It works perfectly well wiht in-memory databases only. So it is much
more than just key-value database.

You get SQL interpretter/byte-compiler so you can use SQL to work with your
data. But Lars obviously, as I understand from last mails, is thinking of
key-value settings a lá Firefox in Emacs, so I have no idea if he plans to
expose SQL interface or not.
