+aims to make representing queries in your code as perl-ish as possible while
+still providing access to as many of the capabilities of the database as
+possible, including retrieving related records from multiple tables in a
+single query, \"JOIN\", \"LEFT JOIN\", \"COUNT\", \"DISTINCT\", \"GROUP BY\",
+\"ORDER BY\" and \"HAVING\" support.")
