How about a slightly different proposal.  First, add an additional
param to --dump, backup.  When you call sa-learn --dump backup it will
dump a slightly terser format that is easily machine readable but
still human editable.

The format will include magic variables, token and seen data.

Then change --loaddb to --restore.  --restore will read the backup
data in and re-create the bayes database.  Of course this process will
involve some sanity checks to help make sure that the data is valid
and all that good stuff.  It wouldn't eliminate the occasional need to
hand tweak some of the token data.

Merging of two databases, while not entirely recommended, could be
accomplished by appending the output of one backup file to another.
The restore process will handle merging all of the data into one.
