Description
Rusqlite:
let conn = Connection::open_in_memory()?;
libSQL:
let db = Database::open(":memory:")?;
let conn = db.connect()?;
It would be better for compatibility if there was also a open_in_memory function to match. And it would be doubly better if it was on the Connection struct for full compatibility (I'm not sure if there is any benefit of requiring the developer to have a separate Database object in this case).

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing Database::open(":memory:") and db.connect() APIs with rusqlite's Connection::open_in_memory() example. Clarify whether the compatibility API belongs on Database, Connection, or both; done means the chosen API is implemented with matching behavior and verified by the project's relevant tests.
