Its a horrible link. It points to a specific commit...Okay, so it must have something to do with the commit? Nope, the commit is putting a limit on the number of symlinks to resolve for whatever reason. Then you also notice that the link is simply a link to the file, not a specific line (something like https://github.com/mackyle/sqlite/blob/18cf47156abe94255ae14...), so you are expected to read the whole C file to figure out why.
I meant use the name of the program that embeds SQLite, for example, McAfee, Google Chrome etc. This way the user could easily understand which program has created the files.
If it were possible to determine the program name in a way that was portable and not too painful, it would be a nice feature for the library to automatically set a better default, both to save work for devs using it and to save sqlite devs the hassle of their library getting blamed for things that aren't its fault. Now, I don't think those conditions are likely to be met, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice if it were practical.
Human readability was not a goal, in fact quite the opposite.
