/**
* A raw CQL snippet that will be appended to the query as-is, without any syntax checking or
* escaping.
*
* To build an instance of this type, use {@link QueryBuilder#raw(String)}.
*
*
It should be used with caution, as it's possible to generate invalid CQL that will fail at
* execution time; on the other hand, it can be used as a workaround to handle new CQL features that
* are not yet covered by the query builder.
*
*
For convenience, there is a single raw element in the query builder; it can be used in several
* places: as a selector, relation, etc. The only downside is that the {@link #as(CqlIdentifier)}
* method is only valid when used as a selector; make sure you don't use it elsewhere, or you will
* generate invalid CQL that will fail at execution time.
