[Nepomuk] Code review of the user query parser developed during GSoC

That's interesting ! I am still following the Nepomuk mailing list and I 
have heard of Baloo, but I didn't paid attention to the fact that it was 
a completely new API and new concept. I will try to get as much 
information as I can about this, I always love fresh new approaches 
built on years of experience.

No problem. If I have some time during the following months, I will take 
a look at Baloo and how the query parser could be integrated into it. 
Even if the parser has to be rewritten, it's not a problem as the 
algorithms remain the same even if the "backend" (Nepomuk2::Term) has to 
be changed.

I'll be glad to do so :-) .
