Description

The following small changes would greatly improve the QBE experience:

• allow dots '.' in package names
• review UI labels to be more descriptive (e.g. refresh -> save, hidden -> marked as irrelevant)

Next steps:

• multi-part selection (add more elements to the existing selection)
• should be able to select a given local variable or constraint and force hiding (marking as irrelevant) all of its incident paths
• automatically determine the query package name upon save
• be able to import multiple EPackages

Further ideas for the longer term:

• selectable EReferences?
• add option to use a sampling base index, so that derived features can be discovered as well
• offer inequality constraints?
• offer existing queries as constraints?

The first three issues have been addressed in time for 1.3.

I won't have time for the rest before 1.4.
