/*
  EOQualifier
  
  EOQualifier is the superclass of all the concrete qualifier classes which
  are used to build up a qualification object hierarchy (aka a SQL where
  statement).

  Subclasses:
    EOAndQualifier
    EOOrQualifier
    EONotQualifier
    EOKeyValueQualifier
    EOKeyComparisonQualifier

  EOQualifierVariable

  EOQualifierVariable defers the evaluation of some qualification value to
  runtime. It's comparable to SQL late-binding variables (aka "a=$value").
  
  Also provided are some categories on NSObject and NSArray to filter an
  in-memory object tree.
