But how do those ORM libraries generate their SQL code?  I would be
surprised if most of them don't use some internal AST-style
representation of SQL as an intermediate step before generating the
actual string to pass to the SQL engine (and I suspect a good proportion
of those that don't harbor nasty security holes).
