[CAP] CQL Expand Composition / Deep read

In the documentation they always use a star in string literals like this o => o.`*` to select all fields, but when running this it always failed. However, after some tests I found that this format works with brackets o => o.('*')

https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/providing-services/#–-deep-read

entity myEntity: cuid, managed {
    field1          : String;
    comp            : Composition of one myComposition;
}
 
aspect myComposition: cuid, managed {
    myCompField: String;
}
        const result = await SELECT.from(myEntity)
            .columns(e => {
                e('*')
                e.comp(c => c.myCompField) //expand composition, but only select 'myCompField'
            })

Update 14.09.2023: is now fixed (#)
