Description 

For a class to be a lookup, it must follow the Query Expression API. **Lookup and Transform naturally follow this API.**

A Lookup is a generic class to implement lookups. A lookup is a query expression with a left-hand side, lhs; a right-hand side, rhs; and a lookup_name that is used to produce a boolean comparison between lhs and rhs such as lhs in rhs or lhs > rhs.

The notation to use a lookup in an expression is <lhs>__<lookup_name>=<rhs>.

**This class doesn’t follow the Query Expression API** since it has =<rhs> on its construction: lookups are always the end of a lookup expression.

Summary: Contradiction in docs/ref/models/lookups → Clarify how `Lookup` follow the Query Expression API.
Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Accepted

Agreed, we should clarify how the Lookup class follow the Query Expression API, because it implements as_sql() and as_vendorname().
