Ah, I should have clarified that I'm using KeePassX. I have never
considered KeePass due to windows/mono.

KeePassX is C++

https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx/tree/master/src/core

I haven't yet looked at KeePassX2, so my previous comments were regarding
KeePassX. KeePassX2 is a full reimplementation that probably has new
features and seems to be missing some old features.
