All Superinterfaces:

Context<RenderContext>, Scope
```
public interface RenderContext
extends Context<RenderContext>
```
The render context is used for rendering QueryPart's to SQL.
A new render context is instantiated every time a Query is rendered. QueryPart's will then pass the same context to their components
