Python-native SQL dialect that renders to BigQuery

Python-native SQL dialect that renders to BigQuery

Why: exposes SQL to the machinery of python

How: Data zone: encode the BQ CFG in typed membership-relations of python objects, write a reverse parser and reverse lexer, which can be chained to form a serializer for BQ ASTs

UI zone: write overloaded/pass-through constructors using Union types to satisfy the looks-like-SQL constraint

What it looks like:

TODO include code snippets

Tradeoffs left to the user: Your code can look like SQL; the more pythonic power you want, the more your code will look like python

You can use the constructor-overloading to make your code look like SQL; the more type validation you want, the more your code will look like type-annotated SQL
