Actually, the API for counters et alia is going into commons (so that it
can be shared between embedded and remote). Additionally, something like
a counter has no API relationship with a Cache, whereas query does.

That's completely opposite approach from the one outlined for
distributed counters and other "on-top" functionality (the same approach
was later suggested for conflict resolution manager, multimap and maybe
others). Why is query 1st level citizen and those others are not?
I am not opposing the idea but let's define the line between patriarchs
and plebeians.
How big is the DSL API surface (which will be brought into commons)?
