Well, what if I wanted to restore a database with ids used in multi-
table links?  From what I read of the "import csv" it discards the id
field and inserts new records -- which will cause any linked records
from other tables to break.  Come to think of it, I'm not sure how you
restore a database at all unless the ids can be set explicitly.

At least this is one use case.
