Karel,
Any further thoughts?
I looked over the link you gave in regards to literals, but did not fully
understand. I'd prefer this follow some "escape syntax" form, beyond that
maybe you could just enumerate the literal types you'd want to support and
their formats.

mean defining standard support for spatial functions. As a corollary, take
something like the ANSI SQL TRIM function. Not all databases support TRIM

But those discussions have always been kind of esoteric ("boy wouldn't it
be nice to have some spatial support in HQL").
As we are working on redesigning the parsing and interpretation of HQL
queries and since s
