Doctrine\Common\Collections\Selectable
Interface for collections that allow efficient filtering with an expression API.
Goal of this interface is a backend independent method to fetch elements
from a collections. is crafted in a way that you can
implement queries from both in-memory and database-backed collections.
For database backed collections this allows very efficient access by
utilizing the query APIs, for example SQL in the ORM. Applications using
this API can implement efficient database access without having to ask the
EntityManager or Repositories.
