Here Price is a class that represents a database column which has a
(static) overload of the '<' operator. The operator overload yields an
object representing a database expression, which gets passed to the
where() method.
The biggest problem with this particular example is not the operator
overloading, but the bare word "Price", which is currently a constant
lookup, not a class reference, as in:
const Price = 50;
var_dump(Price < 100);
However, with any version of operator overloading that didn't limit the
return values of the overloaded operator, you could do something like:
$query->where(Product::$price < 100)
Where the static property Product::$price is an object which overloads
the "<" operator to return some kind of Condition object which can be
used by the query builder.
