Even - I'm interested to hear your thoughts here. Do you think there's
any good reason for a dedicated spatialite provider?

The *only* reason I can see (would need to be tested) is that
potentially there's a cost to the spatialite -> OGR -> QgsFeature
translation, vs just spatialite -> QgsFeature. But my hunch is that
this would be offset by optimisations present in the OGR driver which
aren't in the QGIS provider.
