<li>Added [SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC] as an optional bit in the 4th argument to the
    [sqlite3_create_function()] and related interfaces, providing applications with
    the ability to create new functions that can be factored out of inner loops when
    they have constant arguments.
<li>Add [SQLITE_READONLY_DBMOVED] error code, returned at the beginning of a
    transaction, to indicate that the underlying database file has been renamed
    or moved out from under SQLite.

  ^The nullif(X,Y) function returns its first argument if the arguments are
  different and NULL if the arguments are the same.  ^The nullif(X,Y) function
  searches its arguments from left to right for an argument that defines a
  collating function and uses that collating function for all string
  comparisons.  ^If neither argument to nullif() defines a collating function
  then the BINARY is used.

  ^The quote(X) function returns the text of an SQL literal which
  is the value of its argument suitable for inclusion into an SQL statement.

  ^Strings with embedded NUL characters cannot be represented as string

funcdef {printf(FORMAT,...)} {} {
  ^(The printf(FORMAT,...) SQL function works like the [sqlite3_mprintf()] C-language
  function and the printf() function from the standard C library.)^
  The first argument is a format string that specifies how to construct the output
  string using values taken from subsequent arguments.  ^If the FORMAT argument is
  missing or NULL then the result is NULL.  ^The %n format is silently ignored and
  does not consume an argument.  ^The %p format is an alias for %X.  ^The %z format
  is interchangable with %s.  ^(If there are too few arguments in the argument list,
  missing arguments are assumed to have a NULL value, which is translated into
  0 or 0.0 for numeric formats or an empty string for %s.)^
