My original intent was for the conflictresolution tables to be obsoleted in
favour of this more generic mechanism.  It is definitely possible, and it
might clean up some things as well.

I think a separate table makes more sense, because:

1. Joining a table against itself is confusing

2. Some concept of priority would need to be implemented, in order for the
overrides to take precedence

3. The matching would probably work differently for the override table than
for the record table (making 1. especially confusing)
