This is often not enough. For example - I want standard increment of 1,
but right now I'm importing 10000 objects, and it would be simpler for
me to get 10000 ids. Preferably in one block.
This is not achievable now. I know I can 'alter sequence set increment
by' - but this will also affect concurrent sessions. which might not be
a problem, but it's a side effect that I don't want.
+1 for original proposition, would love to get it.
