When inserting data, I would love the ability to give entities a temporary id (could be a string, negative int, keyword, etc.--something that can't be mistaken as a real id) so that multiple instances of that tempid resolve to the same id.
For instance, the example given in the readme which inserts the project
{:name "Learning Clojure"
:customer {:name "Big Company"}
:tasks [{:desc "Buy a good book" :effort 1}
{:desc "Install Java" :effort 2}
{:desc "Configure Emacs" :effort 4}]
:members [{:name "Daisy"}
{:name "Mini"}]
:manager {:name "Daisy"}}ends up inserting Daisy twice: once as a member and once as a manager. Two entities with the ids 1 and 2, both with the name "Daisy", are inserted. Adding tempids would allow for the project

{:desc "Install Java" :effort 2}
{:desc "Configure Emacs" :effort 4}]
:members [{:id "daisy's tempid", :name "Daisy"} ; notice the id
{:name "Mini"}]
:manager {:id "daisy's tempid", :name "Daisy"}} ; notice the idwhich would only insert Daisy once.
