As I understand it, DBI is agnostic to the database query language in use, same 
as ODBC etc is, and same as Muldis::Rosetta is, and so an implementer of the API 
it defines can use any query language it wants, or even support several.

I recommend just supporting MongoDB's native query language initially as per 
your plan.  If the ability to query in SQL is desired then you can provide that 
as an alternative, but under no circumstances should the ability to use the 
DBMS' native query language be denied as an option to users.
