Thanks, Stefan. Will see what I can cook up.
But I am guessing that once you have the AST, it would be fairly
easy to generate the LINQ query. And, since Mono has implemented
LINQ, there may be some code I can scavenge there.

If this were possible, then one could really put the L2 query cache
on drugs: not only cache the query results, but also the LINQ
equivalent
of the HQL, so that the LINQ query could be *run on the entity cache*.

Which would mean that after an insert, the query could be updated
rather than
invalidated, as it is currently done.
