Summary description: Querying astronomical databases in LaTeX

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This new, experimental package, similarly to fits-astro, offers a new way to work with astronomical
data in LaTeX. It allows users to query databases directly from their document using the ADQL
language. It does not depend on a particular engine or package, but it does require shell-escape to
be active. The result of the query is stored in a macro, which can in turn be used anywhere in the
document. This is particularly useful when typesetting tables that contain extensive data about a
celestial object, which can be retrieved automatically.
