The .executemany() method is a very efficient way to execute the same SQL query against a huge list of parameters.

sqlite-utils insert supports a bunch of ways of loading a list of dictionaries - from CSV, TSV, JSON, newline JSON and more thanks to:

• --lines and --text and --convert and --import #361

What if you could load a list of dictionaries and provide a SQL query with :named parameters that correspond to keys in those dictionaries instead?

This would need to be a new command - I thought about adding a --sql option to insert but that doesn't make sense as that command already requires a table name.
