> This function is defined in the [**portable**](../modules/portable) module.

Write an exported run into `journal` and return its run id.

Refuses to import over an existing run unless `overwrite=True`: silently
merging two runs' events would produce a replay index that belongs to
neither, and the failure would surface much later as a confusing resume.
