/**
 * Represents a function that can be used to create a general select method. When using this function,
 * you can create a method that does not require a user to call the build() and render() methods - making
 * client code look a bit cleaner.
 *
 * This function is intended to by used in conjunction with utility methods like the select methods in
 * {@link MyBatis3Utils}.
 *
 * 
For example, you can create mapper interface methods like this:
 *
 * 
 * @SelectProvider(type=SqlProviderAdapter.class, method="select")
 * List<PersonRecord> selectMany(SelectStatementProvider selectStatement);
 *
 * BasicColumn[] selectList =
 *     BasicColumn.columnList(id, firstName, lastName, birthDate, employed, occupation, addressId);
 *
 * default List<PersonRecord> select(SelectDSLCompleter completer) {
 *      return MyBatis3Utils.select(this::selectMany, selectList, person, completer);
 * }
 * 
 *
 * And then call the simplified default method like this:
 *
 * 
 * List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(c ->
 *         c.where(occupation, isNull()));
 * 
 *
 * You can implement a "select all" with the following code:
 *
 * 
 * List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(c -> c);
 * 
 *
 * Or
 *
 * 
 * List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(SelectDSLCompleter.allRows());
 * 
 *
 * There is also a utility method to support selecting all rows in a specified order:
 *
 * 
 * List<PersonRecord> rows = mapper.select(SelectDSLCompleter.allRowsOrderedBy(lastName, firstName));
 *
