Are you sure about this? I find that hard to believe. The web page talks about
'atomic commit and rollback', and I can't find anything on it that supports
your claim, not even on the 'unsupported features' page.

I think PHP was going to use it for sessions support, and it's unlikely they'd
have used SQLite if it did not support concurrent usage.
