    // cumulative composing

    /** sets a new elementary query for the composer

        <p>An elementary query or statement is a (single select) statement whose parts are
        not covered by the various set and get methods of the composer. That is, if the
        elementary statement contains a filter clause, a call to
        XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getFilter() will not return you this
        filter. Instead, only filters which have been set using for instance setFilter()
        are covered by the get methods.</p>

        <p>The only methods which take all parts of the elementary statement into account are
        XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getQuery() and
        XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getQueryWithSubstitution(), which always returns
        the complete composed query.</p>

        <p>As a result, you can use the composer to build cumulative filter expressions. That
        is, you can set #ElementaryQuery to a statement already containing
        filters, and then use setFilter() to append additional filters.</p>

        <p>The very same holds for sort orders, <code>HAVING</code> and <code>GROUP BY</code>
        clauses.</p>

        <p>There are various use cases for this. For instance, you might want to use the
        statement represented by a QueryDefinition, and extend it with additional
        filters or sort orders, while not touching the respective parts already present
        in QueryDefinition::Command. This can be achieved by setting the
        QueryDefinition::Command as #ElementaryQuery of a
        SingleSelectQueryComposer.</p>

        <p>If, in such a scenario, you would be interested in the filter part of the
        QueryDefinition::Command, you would set it via
        XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::setQuery(), and retrieve the filter
        part via XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getFilter().</p>

        <p>If you'd be interested in the composed filter, you would set the
        QueryDefinition::Command as #ElementaryQuery, add your
        filter, and propagate the resulting query (XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getQuery())
        to an SingleSelectQueryAnalyzer instance via
        XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::setQuery().</p>
