Ok, the documentation make sense now.  I wonder what the performance 
impact is.  Probably, nobody cares about microoptimizing CREATE TABLE 
statements.  But BEGIN/COMMIT could matter.  However, whatever you do in 
between the BEGIN and COMMIT will already be jumbled, so you're already 
paying the overhead.  Hopefully, jumbling such simple commands will have 
no noticeable overhead.

In other words, we should test this and hopefully get rid of the 
'string' method.
