Hi Ari,
thanks for pointing to that dev discussion thread. I was going to do
the same. In fact my own interest in this approach started as a result
of David posting his first example:
https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-877
And I hope to reuse his work if possible (and at the minimum use some
of the ideas).

This looks a lot like the Fluent interface [1] Andrus has proposed
as a possible way to generify the query API. Have a read of the
relevant thread [2] for further info there. It is an interesting
idea but quite hard to write documentation for (such as javadocs)
and possibly hard for newcomers. On the other hand it is very
compact and readable.
