The problem is that currently only "String, Any" pairs work, and I need to be able to combine both those *AND* "Query Expression Objects".

 the second block doesn't compile or work and I need to figure out an idiom that works.  

  I've fiddled with a few things but Type Classes don't work due to needing a wildcard / <: on the second arg to the tuple pairs.
