db(some_query) creates a DAL Set object (on which you can then call methods
such as .select(), .update(), etc.). A Set object is also callable, and if
you call it by passing in another query, it will simply add the new query
as an AND condition. So, that code is just equivalent to:
db(
(db.products.id == db.product_filter.product_id) &
(db.filters.id == db.product_filter.filter_id) &
(db.filters.name == "hoodie")
)
or
db(db.products.id == db.product_filter.product_id)(db.filters.id == db.
product_filter.filter_id)\
(db.filters.name == "hoodie")
The idea is that you can create a base Set object and then use it to create
more specific sets by adding different conditions.
