It's possible that Matt is waiting for me to do something about this, 
since I promised him the moon and stand a good chance of actually 
delivering it soon.

I'm proposing that my in-development Perl Hosted Muldis D language, 
code written in which takes the form of a tree of Perl array refs, 
would be a good replacement for the SQL::Abstract-defined AST format 
that DBIx-Class currently uses to specify queries.

See http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=Language-MuldisD for the latest 
committed version in version control.

Muldis D is very flexible, elegant, and portable, and anything you 
can express in some other database query AST format can be expressed 
elegantly by it, whether SQL::Abstract-current or otherwise.

In a few days I expect to have some working examples.
