How can I add a list of items to a collection with AppleScript? I can
add one item at a time, but for large sets of items this is a pokey
(although watching the item count next to the collection icon climb is
kind of interesting). The scripting dictionary implies that you can
add more than one object at once, but I can't seem to figure out the
syntax.

Any corrections or suggestions?
The add verb currently only accepts a single specifier as the direct
parameter. You can add multiple items to a collection at once, but
only by way of a single specifier that evaluates to multiple items.
add (every bookmark item whose name contains "foo") to folder
collection "Foo"
I have logged a feature request to make this verb more flexible in
the future (i.e. accept a list of specifiers). In the meantime,
you'll have to add them one at a time.
