23   * This class works withe the lookup framework to customize a query.  It currently can do the following things:
24   *
25   * <ul>
26   *  <li>transform/remove predicates</li>
27   *  <li>transform/remove query results</li>
28   * </ul>
29   *
30   * <p>
31   * The predicate transform will applied to the predicates in the incoming query yielding a
32   * a predicate.  If the predicate does not need to be transformed then the function can return the
33   * incoming argument.  If the predicate should be removed the transform should return null.
34   * This is a way to remove or change a predicate before the query is executed.
35   * This is a good way to add new predicates to a query or to limit the result of the query before
36   * it is executed. Transforms also allow a predicate referencing a property path that does not exist
37   * on database mapped object to be changed to something that is valid.
38   * </p>
39   *
40   * <p>
41   * The result transform will be applied to the results of the query after the query is executed.
42   * If the result does not need to be transformed then the function can return the
43   * incoming argument. This is a way to remove or change a result after the query is executed.
44   * </p>
45   *
46   * <p>transformers should not have to deal with null items</p>
