can we fully document package query syntax somewhere and provide a link here?
like operators (AND, NOT, OR, XOR, =, !=, etc.), patterns (can I use build_type=Rel*?)
also, it's a bit unclear, if it can filter only by settings, but not by options?

I've clarified that both settings and options work, and will work on adding a syntax reference in another PR
