Better name for AST

[brendt]

AST, or "abstract syntax tree", creates the expectation of a nested tree structure. In the case of a query string, the AST will only ever be one level deep; as multi nodes are combined into one.

If anyone wants to suggest a better, more clear name: you're welcome.

Braindump of first thoughts: QueryStringBag, QueryStringParts, QueryStringNodes, QueryStringNodeCollection

While realizing this issue is several years old, and it appears the name is still set at AST... here's a couple ideas:

QST (QueryStringTree), QSS (Query String Schema), QSS (Query String Structure)

Flat AST, Single Layer AST, Query Node, Flat Syntax Tree (FST), Linear Syntax Tree (LST)
