Description

Today, you can make a dimensional range query using e.g. DimensionalRangeQuery.new1DIntRange, etc., plus a direct ctor for "expert" (2D, 3D, etc.) usages, but matching a single value is awkward and users ask about it from time to time.

We could maybe rename DimensionalRangeQuery to DimensionalQuery and add new "factories" like newIntEqualsQuery or something.

Or, we could make new classes, DimensionalIntEqualsQuery etc., and you get to use ordinary constructors?

Or something else?
