How about adding support in dal.py for the following:

# processes the field input and add defaults, computes, etc. (does not make 
actual insertion).
>>> values = db._insert(spam="alot", ...)
{"spam": "alot", ...}

So one can use the output for storing named keys (with app specific logic 
or maybe plugin for extended datastore functions).

AFAIK, the patch is trivial (it would need adding a _insert adapter method 
like the case of mongodb or imap)
