I am not sure you have achieved any more readability over the plain string
version. Compare:
new SelectQuery().query("age < 27")
new SelectQuery().less("age", 27)
Which parameter is supposed to be less than which? At any rate a more interesting
approach might be to implement typesafe Object Attributes such as
Artist.AGE<Integer>:
less(ObjAttribute<T>, Object<T>)
A more radical approach was also discussed before. Something like (from memory):
new SelectQuery().and(Artist.AGE.under(23))
It reads nicely and can be made type-safe, but is a bit messy in that it moves
many Expression methods into the ObjAttribute class.
