I know it's on the sqlite side. I'm familiar with the claim and disagree with it.

You’re arguing in this context:

> wouldn't the ability to automatically rewrite sqlite in Rust be a valuable asset?

If you want to rewrite SQLite, you must accept their position. Otherwise you simply aren’t rewriting SQLite, you’re writing your own database.

Not having bound checks does not make sqlite sqlite. If that was the case, you couldn't compile it with https://clang.llvm.org/docs/BoundsSafety.html turned on and still call it sqlite for example.
