SELECT non-fields...

Hi Folks,

one of the great diagnostics that I use with MySQL is selecting 
expressions. For example:

SELECT table.field, 1=2, "literal", table.field = 3
FROM table

---------

This would return, for example

--------------------------------------------
1   |  false  |  'literal'  | false
2   |  false  |  'literal'  | false
3   |  false  |  'literal'  | true
...

However, it appears that I can't do this with Valentina. I can only 
select fields. I suppose this sort of thing may be possible with 
MethodObjects, but it would be really great to by able to use MySQL 
syntax. It's a pain to have to set up a new Method just to test 
something...
