Syntax Conventions
The reference section uses some nomenclature that helps convey the use of dbExpression. When C# method signatures are listed, this nomenclature (hopefully) helps remove the clutter from the intent of the signature. It also allows for detail of a common signature pattern that may actually have multiple implemented signatures due to different parameter types and/or different method overloads.
