Well, you can't even copy and paste a single record in Glom right now. I
guess that could be implemented as a way to add a new record, generating
new primary key IDs if the primary key is autogenerated.

This would be much like what happens now if you export and then import.
I'd like exporting and importing to be scriptable via python, which
should be doable.

Exporting now exports all currently-found records. though I agree that
it would be nice to export selected rows too.
