Certainly intentional.  Indeed, the web site for SQLite describes it
as a positive virtue.

I should have written "broken by design".


I find it personally annoying, but not broken. I think that what you 
really mean is that you find it not usable for a certain application 
that you have in mind.

The cost is in thinking about what a query may return:  comparisons do
not mean what we are used to.  For that matter, what does a value mean
when it is not in the domain in which it is supposedly defined?
