The two projects have somewhat diverged. LMDB heavily focuses on raw performance
while Bolt has focused on simplicity and ease of use. For example, LMDB allows

performance. Bolt opts to disallow actions which can leave the database in a
corrupted state. The only exception to this in Bolt is `DB.NoSync`.

opening an `mdb_env` whereas Bolt will handle incremental mmap resizing
