That sounds quite sensible to me.

I will ask on the sqlite mailing list, but as far as I know (and
tested), yes. But only if the value is sourrended by single quotes. If
you use double quotes, then they (and only they) have to be quoted. So
the behaviour of the quoting function depends on the quotes. That's bad,
but I think it's ok to restrict it to single quotes and put a warning
into the spec. If somebody wants double quotes, he can still use ${sg.
