No way, I think. Imagine that every access to a variable would do SQLite query instead of reading sequence of bytes directly from memory. BTW, I saw apt-rpm on some Fedora system recently. They use SQLite for package lists. That apt-rpm is so sloooow (at least when reading package lists it takes dozens of seconds to initialize). -- Eugene V.
