users should be able to keep the runtime from crapping out in a PK violation

I think there are two separate issues here:

  1. Should we provide syntax sugar for other strategies for handling key violations?
  2. What should be the default strategy for handling key violations?

Re: 1, sugar would be fine, although I can think of a few more pressing areas where we need sugar (upserts, please!)

Re: 2, if a key constraint is violated, raising an exception seems like sensible default behavior to me. We can definitely do better in how we handle runtime exceptions, as discussed today.
