Nobody has worked on it for quite some time, but it passed some tests.
Maybe it needs some more work, and some documentation.

I'd really prefer if you used the XQL queries since it is something I'd
like to use in mergeant and which would solve a lot of problems.

So if you want to spend some time on it, that would be good, but if you
don't have a lot of time, then you can do direct SQL queries...
