You meant SelectQuery(Class, Expression) vs. SelectQuery(String,
Expression), right?
I've never actually understood why the second was in there. I like
the compiler checking my spelling, and that only happens in the
first. And you can always use Class.forName() if you really want to
use a String. There's probably a reason it's necessary that I'm not
aware of.
