More documentation suggestions.

FWIW, I find it quite disconcerting to be following the
online documentation, and then testing it with my Linux
distribution, only to find that the particular thing I'm
trying out with the sqlite3 interface is not implemented in
the version of sqlite I'm currently using. This also applies
to the .help options when using the sqlite3 interface, as
they are subject to change as well :)

Would it be possible to note at the start of a particular
function, keyword, or whatever feature that is subject to
change, the version number of sqlite that this particular
feature has been first implemented in, and is applicable to
please?

I'm thinking along the lines of the PHP manual
documentation, for example as in:

DateInterval::__construct

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0)

DateInterval::__construct — Creates new DateInterval object

http://www.php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.construct.php

In the above example, the version that this constructor
feature is implemented in is immediately obvious. So if I;m
running a version of PHP which is less than 5.3.0 then the
documentation does not apply to me.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
