Description

Often, "Java builder APIs" also use methods like build() or end(), etc, for terminating a chain of calls. So it would be interested to support such methods as well, anywhere in the chain.

Pseudo-example:

query "user" where "age" eq 33 execute()
query "user" unique() where "name" eq "Guillaume"
