* from a collections. {@link Expression} is crafted in a way that you can
* implement queries from both in-memory and database-backed collections.
*
* For database backed collections this allows very efficient access by
* utilizing the query APIs, for example SQL in the ORM. Applications using
* this API can implement efficient database access without having to ask the
* EntityManager or Repositories.
