## Detailed Description

Declares the Query stream manipulators and operators.

These manipulators let you automatically quote elements or escape characters that are special in SQL when inserting them into a Query stream. They make it easier to build syntactically-correct SQL queries.

This file also includes special `operator<<` definitions for a few key MySQL++ data types, since we know when to do automatic quoting and escaping for these types. This only works with Query streams, not regular std::ostreams, since we're only concerned with making correct SQL, not with presentation matters.

test/test_manip.cpp exercises the mechanisms defined here.
