Hmm, I suppose you are right. I can imagine for example an music store using
the storage area in view embedded in a music application and in a browser
session.

Then there's also the question of when this is allowed to be changed? At least
it'll ASSERT if a database is open at the time, but does it make any sense to
change it after application startup?
