Warning

Documentation is incomplete.

Todo:

1. Finish documentation!
   
   1. Make the source code directory structure for Query lib match the documentation.
      
   2. Make the library more exstensible (perhaps designed like the PDF and DOT libraries).

Note

Large parts of documentation contained in ROSE/QueryLibs/QueryLib.docs.

The design of the Query Library is somewhat adhoc, it seems clear from using it that the idea is an important one in the simplification of many preprocessor operations. What is not clear is just what the design of the Query Library should be. This implementation will likely be superceeded by an improved version in the future.
