Mike,
Your example sounds more like a kind of object query language.
Rick,
Lafcadio, ez_where and the Criteria Library don't really make queries
as transparent as filtering a Ruby array. Lafcadio seems to be closest
to that though.
I'm aiming for something like
Product.all[10..99].sort_by(:name).sort_by(:price).reverse.select { |p| ... }
And saving and deleting should be as simple as doing
Product.all << Product.new
and
Product.all.delete(some_product)
