Spring Data REST RSQL example

The goal of this project is to find a way to use RSQL alongside Spring Data REST and compliment the findAll (GET /{repository}) with some of the JpaSpecificationExecutor methods. Possibly the best description of what this demo does can be found in the tests.

There are a number of parts to this that require more thought and this is just a basic working solution. Exposing this kind of behavior in an application should be done with great care as anybody could potentially query for any field in an entity.
