Comment(by F J Kaiser):

 I have done a lot of custom sql-queries for a project some months ago. And
 it´s a real pain if you want to add custom-meta-data and it´s even much
 more pain to get the meta-data back if you´re filtering for e.g.
 "everybody who´s a person" AND "goes to event xy" AND "got the age xy",
 etc. I´m just asking to enchance wp and the admin-UI handling and to bring
 it more to the top, closer to the user. Most WP-Users are not programmers
 and even those who are, often don´t bring the knowledge to retrieve
 everything they need from the db. Offering functions to display data in
 templates is something that makes wp that good.
