I'm not convinced this is actually a good idea overall, but...

There's no reason `file` couldn't be made to recognize special cases of SQLite databases. It certainly handles far uglier cases already.

And SQLite already provides a place to store meta-data about a table: http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_user_version Though the bummer is user_version is only 32 bits.
