Interactive sounds like a nice feature! I hadn't tried that.

Normally I import hundreds of records... So my focus isn't on one at a
time data entry, I want bulk and standardized records.

I'm keen on John's new emacs mode that's letting me query my files for
items to clear / update (ie: my queue in my workflow). I can now see
one line per transaction, and hit enter on them to jump to the right file.
