+/**
+ * Interface for collections that allow efficient filtering with an expression API.
+ *
+ * Goal of this interface is a backend independent method to fetch elements
+ * from a collections. {@link Expression} is crafted in a way that you can
+ * implement queries from both in-memory and database-backed collections.
+ *
+ * For database backed collections this allows very efficient access by
+ * utilizing the query APIs, for example SQL in the ORM. Applications using
+ * this API can implement efficient database access without having to ask the
+ * EntityManager or Repositories.
