The end result is that even if I find a solution that works, I think it will be common (and bug-prone) enough that it really ought to be in the language, or at least the standard library -- as it is today for objects that don't go out of their way to prevent it.
The usual way to handle this in databases is to generate an unique id_key when the data is entered. That also allows for duplicate entries such as people with the same name, or multiple items with the same part number.
