@brion, could you think of use cases for partial data reads? I think it will
be mostly "draw data as a wiki list or a table with some magical
highlighting/string concatenation/...", or "draw a graph with all the data".
That's why at this point I simply provide Lua's
`mw.data.getData("page_name.tabular")`, which returns the whole thing as JSON
decoded into a Lua table structure. I see no reason not to provide
`mw.data.query("SELECT field1 FROM page_name WHERE field2 > 10")`, but that's a
whole other ball game :)
Also, adding JSON storage should provide an easy solution for lookups, e.g.
`mw.data.lookup("page_name.json", "top-level-field-value")`, which could be
very efficient for large but shallow jsons.
