   I believe most of us are familiar with SQL-like language, so it's good to reuse the knowledge to deal with collection for higher productivity and better readability. As you found, GORM and Hibernate are powerful enough to deal with DB population, so currently groovy-linq is just target to collection. Parsing XML, JSON and YAML could use groovy-linq too because they can be parsed into collections.

   No worries, the PR will not be merged util review passed. BTW, groovy-linq may be a new module of Groovy 4.0( http://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-4.0.html ) /cc @paulk-asert

   Any suggestion for the better name? GINQ?
