 /**
  * Class for SQL SELECT fragments.
  *
  * This class simply holds a string, so that fragments of SQL statements can be
  * distinguished from identifiers and values that should be implicitly quoted
  * when interpolated into SQL statements.
  *
  * For example, when specifying a primary key value when inserting into a new
  * row, some RDBMS brands may require you to use an expression to generate the
  * new value of a sequence.  If this expression is treated as an identifier,
  * it will be quoted and the expression will not be evaluated.  Another example
  * is that you can use Zend_Db_Expr in the Zend_Db_Select::order() method to
  * order by an expression instead of simply a column name.
  *
  * The way this works is that in each context in which a column name can be
  * specified to methods of Zend_Db classes, if the value is an instance of
  * Zend_Db_Expr instead of a plain string, then the expression is not quoted.
  * If it is a plain string, it is assumed to be a plain column name.
