    This would eliminate the need to have to build long strings of parenthetically grouped "OR" constraints.

    For example, if we were interested in STU records for 5 specific students (numbered 1 through 5, in this contrived example)...

    ...rather than:
    IF ( STU.ID = 1 OR STU.ID = 2 OR STU.ID = 3 OR STU.ID = 4 OR STU.ID = 5 )

    ...we could use something along the lines of:
    IF STU.ID IN (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

    Add support for filtering an Aeries Query based on the current date/time, at runtime.

    For example, to list staff (STF) and their active job assignments (STJ), one might use a query similar to the following:

    LIST STJ ID SCL JC SD ED IF ( SD = NULL OR SD <= 'MM/DD/YYYY' ) AND ( ED = NULL OR ED >= 'MM/DD/YYYY' )

    While this works, it requires users to adjust the date each time they execute it.

    If support were added for a "current date" function, like the built-in T-SQL function "getdate()", this Aeries query might be rewritten as:

    LIST STJ ID SCL JC SD ED IF ( SD = NULL OR SD <= (( GETDATE() )) ) AND ( ED = NULL OR ED >= (( GETDATE() )) )

    NOTE: The above query does not work. It is provided as an example of how support for a current-date function might be implemented.
