    # The purpose of this class is to allow the easy creation of SQL identifiers and functions

    # the methods defined by Sequel, or if you are running on ruby 1.9.
    #
    # An instance of this class is yielded to the block supplied to filter, order, and select.
    # If the block doesn't take an argument, the block is instance_evaled in the context of
    # a new instance of this class.
    #
    # VirtualRow uses method_missing to return Identifiers, QualifiedIdentifiers, Functions, or WindowFunctions, 
    # depending on how it is called.  If a block is not given, creates one of the following objects:
    # * Function - returned if any arguments are supplied, using the method name
    #   as the function name, and the arguments as the function arguments.
    # * QualifiedIdentifier - returned if the method name contains __, with the
    #   table being the part before __, and the column being the part after.
    # * Identifier - returned otherwise, using the method name.
    # If a block is given, it returns either a Function or WindowFunction, depending on the first
    # argument to the method.  Note that the block is currently not called by the code, though
    # this may change in a future version.  If the first argument is:
    # * no arguments given - uses a Function with no arguments.
    # * :* - uses a Function with a literal wildcard argument (*), mostly useful for COUNT.
    # * :distinct - uses a Function that prepends DISTINCT to the rest of the arguments, mostly
    #   useful for aggregate functions.
    # * :over - uses a WindowFunction.  If a second argument is provided, it should be a hash
    #   of options which are passed to Window (e.g. :window, :partition, :order, :frame).  The
    #   arguments to the function itself should be specified as :*=>true for a wildcard, or via
    #   the :args option.
    #
    # Examples:
    #
    #   ds = DB[:t]
    #   # Argument yielded to block
    #   ds.filter{|r| r.name < 2} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (name < 2)
    #   # Block without argument (instance_eval)
    #   ds.filter{name < 2} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (name < 2)
    #   # Qualified identifiers
    #   ds.filter{table__column + 1 < 2} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE ((table.column + 1) < 2)
    #   # Functions
    #   ds.filter{is_active(1, 'arg2')} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE is_active(1, 'arg2')
    #   ds.select{version{}} # SELECT version() FROM t
    #   ds.select{count(:*){}} # SELECT count(*) FROM t
