Comment:

 [75727faacc18c585fd352f7e12785e346023a26b] implements compacting to an fd,
 so I think this is all now done.

 The only restriction is that such databases are read-only (and have to be
 created via compacting an existing database).  There's no fundamental
 reason they couldn't support writing, but it would be extra work (I think
 you'd want to have a single freelist shared between the tables, and to
 sort out some equivalent to atomically updating the version file when
 committing).
