EXCELLENT point. While the "In List" feature could be slightly useful, composing queries on the fly is an easy workaround. It's
rare to have ad-hoc queries that are all standard enough to be preparable anyway. OTOH, the Vulcan merge will result in a
higher performance, more easily extensible product. I'd much rather see that happen faster than to get slightly useful features
sooner.
