query by expression

[Stephen Lime]

I wanted to add that this is what itemquery is turning into in the next release. Dan's
suggestion is a good workaround for the moment.

Robert,

There is no queryUsingExpression() call... but you might be able to
achieve the same result if you set the expression in the query object of
the layer, and then use queryUsingRect() with a rectangle the size of
the map.  I've never done it, but that should work.
