Batching operations to avoid handshake overhead?

Question

I see that there are currently BulkUpdate and BulkDelete methods, which allow one to change the same thing to the same thing on multiple objects, or delete multiple objects by URL.

Is it possible to batch up operations, and submit multiple disparate operations? If I have a script that will be making large amounts of arbitrary object updates, it would make sense to batch them up to avoid the SSL handshake overhead that individual update operations experience, and then call a flush() operation to trigger ordered batch execution.

If it is not currently possible, can it be roadmapped?

We can look at that. Are you looking for transactional behavior (all these operations succeed or none of them happen at all) or stop-on-first-error or just run them all one by one and return a list of results?
