I probably can implement it, that should be easy. However,
1. I need to have it working with 1.15.x, the customer uses. So I've 
made a hack, I extend ApiQueryBase instead of ApiBase, but make 
constructor like ApiBase. Such way, I have both addWhere*() and 
setContinueEnumParameter() methods working without being forced to use 
action=query. I've also overrided getDB(), because ApiQueryBase::getDB 
is unsuitable to ApiBase code (ApiQueryBase::getQuery() and all methods 
which use ApiQueryBase::getQuery() are also make no sense, thus I've 
overrided these throwing MWException() ).
2. I don't have core commit access only extension commit access, however 
I don't feel like MW guru, so I don't even want to request it. I'll 
probably file a bug. Too bad it will never come back to 1.15.x, though.
