[Archivesspace_Users_Group] partially update a record through API

[Steven Majewski]

jq would be handy here:
http://stedolan.github.io/jq/

something like:
GET some object with curl |  jq edit | PUT same object with curl 

where you pass in object URI and jq edit command. 

It would only work for objects where there was a symmetrical GET & PUT. 
( i.e. not for  GET /repositories/$REPO/resources/$ID )
