I could have used this yesterday. I was populating a test table with
a primary key on two columns and needed to add a bunch of random rows.
I generated a 10_000 line file of one insert statement each. Rather than
worrying about collisions, I could simply \rollbackonerror (or whatever
we're calling it today :) and silently discard the handful that happen
to violate the primary key constraint and let the rest insert.
