the where function would take an AST representation of the body --effectively it takes source code, and then transcompiles the AST for it.name == "bob" into WHERE c.name == bob, of the equivalent mongo thing (iirc something resembling {"where" { eq { field { "fname" }, "bob" }}

that would mean you'll need to remember which subset of Kotlin is supported in a translator. But if you write your DSL, you'll have limited syntax during compile-time.

And I'd rather have features that make creating DSLs and builders easier and less ugly than writing Kotlin-AST-to-DSL transpilers
