          data BLOB               -- compressed content
        );
        
Both directories and empty files have sqlar.sz==0.  Directories can be
distinguished from empty files because directories have sqlar.data IS NULL.
The file is compressed if length(sqlar.blob)<sqlar.sz and is stored
as plaintext if length(sqlar.blob)==sqlar.sz.

Symbolic links have sqlar.sz set to -1, and the link target stored as
a text value in the sqlar.data field.

## Fuse Filesystem

An SQLite Archive file can be mounted as a 
[Fuse Filesystem](http://fuse.sourceforge.net) using the "sqlarfs"
utility, including with this project.
