Desigining an Elixir library using token-based approach

The token-based approach means passing a single data structure into multiple functions as in `Ecto.Query,` `Ecto.Multi` or `Plug.Conn.`

In this talk, Tomasz will show an example library for composing Ecto queries that they developed to ease creating search forms. It includes validation, filtering, ordering and pagination.

He'll cover how library API affects consistency and the ability to debug.
