I feel now really bad I wrote it that way. I'm actually excited about
Haskell<>relational. How it can work. I may be going back to reading and
thinking instead of posting inflammatory messages. I'm not comfortable
going technical. I'm afraid It may take longer than you would expect for me
to understand theoretical foundation of opaleye. Though I think I
understand the foundation of relational theory.
