"""
Create SQL statements for QuerySets.

The code in here encapsulates all of the SQL construction so that QuerySets
themselves do not have to (and could be backed by things other than SQL
databases). The abstraction barrier only works one way: this module has to know
all about the internals of models in order to get the information it needs.

        For example, if the origin filter is ~Q(child__name='foo'), filter_expr
        is ('child__name', 'foo') and can_reuse is a set of joins usable for
        filters in the original query.

        It might be worth it to consider using WHERE NOT EXISTS as that has
        saner null handling, and is easier for the backend's optimizer to
        handle.
