[sqlite] sqlite3 command line shell bug?

[Baruch Burstein]

I just noticed that the dot-commands are tested by the length of the input,
not of the correct term. For example, '.e' will match '.exit' (it would
also match '.explain', except it matches '.exit' first). Is this intended
behavior? And if so, why should '.e' match '.exit' any more than '.explain'?

SELECT 'explain' > 'exit';
