 * An abstract representation of a SQL <i>WHERE</i> clause that supports a

 * See <a href="FormQueryFilter.html">FormQueryFilter</a><br>
 * <p/>
 * Exceptions: All problems caught when the parameter(s) are checked (as
 * indicated/implied in the @param tags) will generate an IllegalArgumentException,
 * and means the API user has a problem.  If a NullPointerException (or some
 * others, like: ClassCastException or ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException) is thrown,
 * it means the API developer has a problem.  Any Exception that is explicitly
 * thrown in the API, but unrelated to a parameter, will be listed in the throws
 * clause (and hopefully in the tag @throws).  These may (but probably won't) be
 * checked Exceptions.
