If a generative default can be efficient, it would avoid the dilemma
of "Generative or not?", while also being parallel with Query.
Otherwise, returning 'self' would be fine, and I promise to look the
other way. :) Then I could do:
q.order_by(...)
instead of
q = q.order_by(...)
While those who prefer the latter can do that, and if you really need a copy:
q = q.clone().order_by(...)
Keep in mind that modifying the query is much more frequent than copying it.
