Thinking about this again, maybe an UpdatableRecord.copy() method
might be helpful. It would set the primary key fields to null. After
copying a record, client code must either

- Explicitly set new values for the primary key fields
- Assume that storing the record (i.e. inserting it), will generate
ID's using triggered sequences, identities, or auto_increment flags,
depending on the RDBMS

This will be part of the next release:
