Uh.. opening the database in a read-only mode certainly has advantages, 
but a read-only workspace? Multiple concurrent readers to the same 
workspace? I don't quite see the use case for that.

Well, the current default seems to be writable access to both, database 
and workspace (and key_store). That's why I've first thought of limiting 
options, saying "I don't need a workspace for this stdio session" and 
keep the default at "I want everything I can get". As this basically is 
a performance optimization, I think it's a reasonable default.
