Oh, I think many people want this (I'd use it) but it's not in anybody's "top
10" list which is why you don't hear about it. I'd say throw it in the TODO
in case some university student studying query parsers wants to implement it
for us at some undefined date in the future. Also, it will spare you
questions about it later ... "It's in the TODO!"
