Not exactly mathematical, but some day I'd like to create
a database access module which lets you say things like
mydb = OpenDB("inventory")
parts = mydb.parts
tuples = mydb.retrieve(parts.name, parts.number).where(parts.quantity >= 42)
Of course, to really make this work I need to be able
to overload "and" and "or" as well, but that's a whole
'nother PEP...
