/**
 * A base class for custom {@link QueryPart} implementations in client code.
 * <p>
 * Client code may provide proper {@link Condition} implementations extending
 * this useful base class. All necessary parts of the {@link Condition}
 * interface are already implemented. Only this method needs further
 * implementation: {@link #accept(Context)}.
 * <p>
 * Refer to that methods' Javadoc for further details about their expected
 * behaviour.
 * <p>
 * Such custom <code>QueryPart</code> implementations can be useful in any of
 * these scenarios:
 * <ul>
 * <li>When reusing a custom <code>QueryPart</code> in other custom
 * <code>QueryPart</code>s, e.g. in {@link CustomCondition}, {@link CustomField}, {@link CustomTable}, etc.</li>
 * <li>When inlining a custom <code>QueryPart</code> in plain SQL methods, such
 * as {@link DSL#condition(String, QueryPart...)},
 * {@link DSL#field(String, QueryPart...)},
 * {@link DSL#table(String, QueryPart...)}</li>
 * </ul>
