    /**
     * Query for Storable instances against a filter expression. A filter tests
     * if property values match against specific values specified by '?'
     * placeholders. The simplest filter compares just one property, like
     * {@code "ID = ?"}. Filters can also contain several kinds of relational
     * operators, boolean logic operators, sub-properties, and parentheses. A
     * more complex example might be {@code "income < ? | (name = ? & address.zipCode != ?)"}.
     * <p>
     * When querying for a single Storable instance by its primary key, it is
     * generally more efficient to call {@link #prepare()}, set primary key
     * properties, and then call {@link Storable#load()}. For example, consider
     * an object with a primary key consisting only of the property "ID". It
     * can be queried as:
     * <pre>
     * Storage&lt;UserInfo&gt; users;
     * UserInfo user = users.query("ID = ?").with(123456).loadOne();
     * </pre>
     * The above code will likely open a Cursor in order to verify that just
     * one object was loaded. Instead, do this:
     * <pre>
     * Storage&lt;UserInfo&gt; users;
     * UserInfo user = users.prepare();
     * user.setID(123456);
     * user.load();
     * </pre>

     * <ul>
     * <li> literals are not allowed
     * <li> logical 'and' operator has precedence over 'or'
     * <li> logical 'not' operator has precedence over 'and'
     * <li> '?' placeholders can only appear after relational operators
     * </ul>
     * <pre>
     * Filter          = OrFilter
     * OrFilter        = AndFilter { "|" AndFilter }
     * AndFilter       = NotFilter { "&" NotFilter }
