This is not nearly ambitious enough.

I want to eventually end up with a powerful syntax that allows us to
specify all sorts of relationships, including descendants, ancestors,
date ranges, keywords, etc. We can't get there in an ad hoc fashion or
we'll paint ourselves into a corner. We have to have a plan and an
expandable syntax first.
