I'm working on a union crate for this one and rusqlite that allows it to be used as the underlying storage. I have a branch that implements “random access”, which is vital for the SQLite implementation. I can see this being implemented in a way that would be optional for file systems that didn't support such an operation.

What are some things that are missing or could break here that'd prevent this from being made mainline? I could also see this being implemented as a trait for underlying VfsPathfile systems that also implement a means of producing random access files, so it'd fail at compile time.
