Change UI, or create a new UI view, to allow selection of multiple objects
("multiselect") in a list of results received when searching or browsing 
objects.

This will allow:
- Assigning a tag to multiple selected objects.
- Creating a new set from multiple selected objects.

Some additional brainstorming: may need to consider such issues as:
- How this is affected by paging/chunking of results; e.g.
-- Does multiselection work across pages?  I.e. are a user's selections 
maintained as
they navigate between results pages?
-- What objects does a "Select All" select?  All objects on the current page, 
all
objects on all pages returned from the category or search, or the option to 
select
either?
- Are there any limits that may need to be imposed on the numbers of objects 
that can
be selected?  Tagged?  Added to a set?
- Related to the last two items, is there any guidance that needs to be given 
to the
user, based on their behavior, so that they don't inadvertently tag more items 
than
intended, or add more items than intended to a set?  (E.g. a "select all" on a
category with tens of thousands of items.)
