SQLite holds on to it deeply, for example:
sqlite> create table a(a int);
sqlite> create table b(b integer);
sqlite> create table c(c glauber);
sqlite> pragma table_info=a;
0|a|INT|0||0
sqlite> pragma table_info=b;
0|b|INTEGER|0||0
sqlite> pragma table_info=c;
0|c|glauber|0||0
So we'll keep it as well so we can produce the same responses.
