Bulk updates in couchdb are a tad painful. you have to fetch them out of
the database apply your change and save them.

I propose adding the ability to have something like an update handler that
folds across documents

either in the way that lists do via get row

ex.

function (head, req){

while (var row = getRow()){
    row.doc.name = req.query.name;
    send(row.doc)// except this commits the doc to disk or something here
}

or something along this line...it could return an array over the wire like
bulk updates does....on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad of an idea is this?
