[Qgis-developer] API proposal: fetching of features

[Nathan Woodrow]

Good thinking Martin,

QgsFeatureRequest request;
request.setExpression( "type = 5 and $area > 100" );
request.setLimit(10)
layer->select( request );

I really like this API style.  We can add methods to QgsFeatureRequest for
better access without busting the select API, which is good imo.

Could even have the setMethods return the QgsFeatureRequest instance so you
could do.

QgsFeatureRequest request;
request.setExpression( "type = 5 and $area > 100"
).setLimit(10).setAttributes( {some list} );
layer->select( request );

A big +1 from me
