Importing multiple objects simultaneously could result in a fair amount of confusion...

Can you elaborate? When you import a folder, for example, it imports the folder and all objects in it.

If there are some objects in the folder that have conflicting names and others that don't, what do you do? Zope already solves this problem for "paste". Although, I am not sure that I like this solution, "import" should behave the same, for consistency.

Also, if you're thinking about providing this functionality, what about spanning multiple folders? What if some folders already exist? Again, it should behave like "paste", for consistency.
