very nice. but still very sql-ish.
i like ruby keywords better.

eg, from this

customernames = customers.
              qwhere {|c| c.address.city == "London"}.
              qselect  {|c| {:firstname => c.firstname,
              :lastname  => c.lastname}}.
              qorderby {|c| c.lastname}

i prefer this instead

customernames = customers.
              select {|c| c.address.city == "London"}.
              collect{|c| [c.firstname,c.lastname]}.
              sort_by{|c| c.lastname}

this way i think in ruby all the way.
