| nice to hear that lafcadio is still in active development.
| Just a thing, I forgot if you talked about it in the past.
| Why:
| user.age.lt( 18 )
| instaed of
| user.age <= 18
| ?

[If I take the liberty of answering that question, Francis may want to
correct me...]
Yes, last time that was discussed the arguments against overloading of
Ruby operators was a semantic one: Different precedences of operators in
SQL and Ruby cause behaviour that will be difficult to explain.

Francis: Nice work ! Looks like all of my whishlist has actually made it
into the new release ! And I like the query language, will have a look
at it in a few weeks. Thank you for developing this great library.
