         * To merge, plow through both the old and the new databases in the same
         * order. By id is sorta idiosyncratic by human standards, but why not?
         * If the entries do not match, write the lowest-numbered one to the
         * output database and read the next record from where the lowest-numbered
         * one came. If they do match, rely on modified time (fall back to created
         * time if null) to sort out the winner. Continue till we hit the end
         * of one database, then "drain" the other. Preserve time stamps.
         *
         * Maybe do something special (warning? confirmation prompt?) on mismatched
         * creation times, as this means a new record was created w/o knowledge
         * of an existing one. Choices should be to clobber w/ newest, pick one
         * manually, or rename one so the other can persist under original name.
