What you want is an interesting feature. I would try to make clear that the query() method is NOT an
SQL query. Pushing my idea with dataQuery() a bit further groupBy() could work differently for both
queries. Or we could introduce a better name for the "aggregating" groupBy(). After all it does NOT
group the rows, it accumulates them. In the times of IDEs I suggest aggregateBy() for the SQL-like
"grouping" and groupBy() for the "real" grouping (as posted by you).
