| Pure "select" query languages do not allow creation of new objects.
| I see it as a problem for TMQL.

It's clear that a pure "select" won't do this.

| I think also that tolog can get additional power with such
| constructs as "for", "if", "every, some ... satisfies".

It would certainly need grouping in the constructors, but how much
more we need I don't know. It already has "if", and you can do "every"
and "some" as well.
 
| Actually, TMTL does some of that for tolog, I just try to generalize
| the idea of constructors.

Yep.
