Re: reducing generic verbosity

 Hi

Java 1.7 will have something called the "diamond constructor", which does type inference, so we'll be able to do this:

   SQuery<OrderWidebandMeasurementRecord> query = new SQuery<>(META);

But in the meantime, it would be nice if SimpleORM included some "sugar" to make the coding less verbose.
