This is not what the query parser is intended for. The query parser is
intended to parse the contents of a single text box entered by a user. A
developer should be able to assemble more complex queries from a set of form
values using the query API.
Is the query API too complex?
Java's a good language for composing objects. There's no need to invent a
"query scripting language" here--just use Java.
